Beautiful Day- Halters on both boy's now

What a brilliant day today..just love the frosts...brrrrhhhh but what a corker of a day.Warm and cosy, crystal clear sky- good day to put the halter on Arani, He's feeling so good today...you can tell when they soak up that sunshine - it just absorbs into them.
David arrived and Arani was very calm about the whole thing- he's a pretty clever guy this chap...he would put his head down oh so calmly when he wanted to get the rope off from over his neck, but David was a little bit cleverer and managed to get it on and then to loop 3 knots through a ring in the rope so that it couldn't slide right through, and then he could direct him in either direction...wasn't a lot of fuss and bother and then on went the halter and it was done...Thanks again David....Arani stood looking at us as if he expected a lot more than that....he hasn't been perturbed at all about the rope dangling off him either...he is becoming so soft now..he will be a beautiful pony....lovely nature.

I worked with Oscar today as well..what a little star he is...He follows me from both sides now...he will take steps either side from the feel of the rope too now, he will back up when I ask him to....but it all takes a little while slowly slowly before we get going with all this.  I still go through the whole process everyday to make sure he is quite ok with me pressing his buttons...He is so much a baby after being with Arani.

It will be interesting to see what the vet thinks their ages are- I am sure Arani is a lot older than Oscar...but you just never know...Louka and Arani really look after Oscar in the paddock..it's a lovely thing to see...they are all such different horses.
