Things have been pretty quiet for the last week or so. I did have Rory out for a little bit on Saturday and we went down onto the track and walked about a bit. I stepped over a pole on the ground, but that was far too tame for Rory and he squealed and jumped up over the pole and barged past me. When I reprimanded him he reared. I put him to work, marching up and down with quick changes of direction and yielding his haunches or shoulders away when asked. He considered leaping over the pole again, but I saw the thought before he did anything about it and made him halt instead.
I was out this morning looking after brat's raw heels and put the yearlings out before I left. Rory had a fair bit of mucus in one eye so I took him into the main barn and flushed it out. He was really good about it and didn't try to escape the stream of Clear Eyes solution. He did wiggle a bit when I wiped his face off with a wet towel. Considering TOY was outside screaming his head off I thought Rory was very good. TOY did come running back to the gate when I put Rory out.
I'm going to dig out bratboy's yearling fly mask and see if it fits Rory - and if TOY will let him wear it.
