the white plastic piping (you can see in the background) was way too big and too heavy for him, so I rigged up this little contraption instead….
I might try a different bit tomorrow or it just might feel extra weird to him because of his monkey mouth. We will figure it out and I know he’ll eventually get use to it.
? Seriously, Thunder looks wonderful and very at home in his rig! I think you were very ingenious in creating such a gentle set up!
Thank you so much Cayuse! Mint wore hers proud I did de- sensitizing training with it.
His expression is like “really??” Can he be any cuter
So glad he is so easy going with whatever you come up with
I'm going say we walked about 1/10th of a mile, but Jaci went further if you count her dancing around and trying to run when my Doberman came running around the corner. She wanted nothing to do with him, so he got put in a long down while I walked her on the gravel in front of the barn and then back to the paddock. I sat and talked with her for a little while before I turned her loose.
I good day for her and youWalked Jaci for the first time out of the paddock. I think this is the forth time I've haltered her and ask her to follow me around. I was trying to make it fun because last time she got her hooves trimmed. And it was her first trim standing like a grown horse. She did wonderful. Her other trims were her in my husbands lap.
It’s so hard. I’ll go see Apaché shortly and was just wondering about putting the bridle on today... I think we will skip a day too...Feb 11
Ground drove Thunder about half a mile fully hitched up to the cart. He did amazing! Didn’t use his bridle or bit, I only used his halter and he liked that so much better.
It is interesting to see the different kinds of fencing in other areas. Those are lovely properties.
