That's fantastic! I've put a rope around the single tree of the board or tire I'm going to have them pull and then around my shoulders while I long line them so they hear the sound before it being attached to them. Once they're calm with that, I'll attach the traces to it. You're getting serious! That's really exciting.Yesterday, I took my boys, Rocky and Pepper out ground driving for about 1/2 an hour each. It seems like they're ready for the next step. Pulling a tire? Wood plank? Anyway, they appear to be more ready for the next step then I am !
Congratulations!Oh! And the ADMC AGM was on Saturday while at the trade show. I'm seriously chuffed, my little donkey won the 2023 ADMC High Point Driving award! My very first belt buckle! I had to go out and buy a belt. And you know I found a yellow one!

Yowie!! More teeth troubles? You and your horses have had your share. Does the vet have an opinion on why this is happening? That flushing business gets old, but they don't seem to mind it.Billy is a smart boy to stay away from politics !
1.5 hours ground driving Peanut this week.
My Cappy and Oatie both had teeth out this week, it's been awfully stressful. Cappy had a recurring sinus infection from a root and had to go to Tuft's university for surgery. Then when he healed (3 weeks) he had the bad root and another tooth removed on Thursday. Oatie had 5 teeth out on Tuesday. He has EOTHR which is a malady of the older horses. I've spent all week giving banamine, antibiotics and flushing mouths. Cappy has a flushing system in his sinus and we have to run saline through it once a day which doesn't take long, or bother him, but it's kinda icky. It's been a lot. Thankfully my husband is right there 100%.
Looked up EOTHR and it looks very serious. (I suppose our animals--and we--are living longer so we are bound to suffer some maladies.)Billy is a smart boy to stay away from politics !
