August 15, 2008 – A new lesson


Rory wasn't interested in his pellets last night. He temp was fine and he was active enough, just didn't want to eat them.

I gave him a little grooming, picked up his feet, then went and got his halter and lead. I put it on him, then threaded the rope through a couple of bars in the stall grill and picked up his feet and picked them out properly. I wanted to get a better look at how long they were and how much trimming he needs (not much at this point). He was pretty good for that. He was more interested in nibbling on the lead rope. Afterwards I stood for a minute and he tried to walk away. He hit the end of the rope and came back right away. Then he tried it again with the same results. He wasn't at all concerned about not being able to go where he wanted, he just came back and nibbled on the rope again. Good boy!
