Hello everyone,
Life got busy again (shocking, I know) and I completely forgot about posting an update about my boy Winston.

Winston has gone from a feeble and sickly baby, who could barely stand when I picked his feet, who had teeth so bad they bled and had to have one removed, into a strong, smart and eager to please horse. He still struggles occasionally with obedience, but we found a major breakthrough with a mix of liberty and clicker training (positive reinforcement). The little guy loves his food, and will go to great lengths to get it. Aside from his dental issues, Winston has been quite healthy, despite his dwarfism. He had xrays of his feet recently and the vet was pleased with how he is doing. He continues to improve on the lead rope and being introduced to new things, and continues to be almost completely bomb proof. The only things that make him spook are the morons on dirt bikes riding on the foot path of the riverbed blasting right by him. This mini continues to amaze me with his sweet nature, goofy antics and spunky attitude.

Thank you all so much for all of your help so far along this journey. It has been a wild 2 years and 6 months!
