Today I was just walking a few feet taller...Little Oscar is nuzzling me now and wanting to be with me....He is waiting for me to take him into the pen- tells me he loves the training as much as I do.While I was standing with him leaning against my shoulder he did 3 enormous yawns- I could almost see what he'd had for breakfast- at first I got a bit of a fright but because he was so close I didn't move a muscle- then I realised he wasn't about to bite my ear off- he was just feeling so good and feeling pretty safe resting there that he was dozing..what an unusual situation, I felt as though he'd given me a hug. I find it very hard not to just bole on up and grab him and cuddle the daylight out of him, but I might just put our learning/ training backwards, so it's ok we'll do this really slowly....especially now he is walking lightly on the leadrope. Not far mind but what he IS doing is going so well. I am absolutely loving doing all the work with him myself....Once it's fine we'll get them gelded and David back to do their feet...I would have loved to have done this sooner but the weather hasn't really been favourable, so once again mother nature takes charge.
Arani now has the small rope attached to his halter...he wasn't that keen to have the longer one switched, but Lynn came back this afternoon and spent about an hour with him until he was accepting of the smaller one...I think he'd had a bit much of the grass- he was a lot more goey than usual- or he is fed up with the weather too hahaha- we bought them into the yards for a while and he has settled back down...the grass is growing so fast now that I think it's got a fair kick to it...I'll put some magnesium into his food tonight, and see how he goes. Little bit of sun here today.MMMmmm welcome vitamin D.
