Hi again
OK, another question!
My new minis old owner used to give them some food when she was catching them. She had a lot of horses (all very well cared for) and I think it was quicker for her to use some food to catch them.
I have noticed that they show signs of expecting it when I go to their paddock to see them. The thing is I don't want to use food to catch them really as they are catchable without it and I don't want them to start nipping when we go in with them, catch them etc! So, I haven't taken them anything, so they don't learn to expect it from me. Do you think I am doing the right thing?
Thanks!
