It's Sunday again and yes it's still wet

I Love Mud I love Mud- I keep telling myself that as I go to get the horses in...They have been on the flats on nice grass, but I still have to bring them back through the muddy paddock to get to the yards.Once in there and I stayed on my feet- that's a bonus it's like plastercine, a wonder I didn't slip.  Every day Louka, Arani and Oscar all come in when I call them and open the gate...repetition works wonders....Today Lynn and Nikita came to work Arani, and there was no problem getting them into the yards.  Arani in the first yard, and Oscar in the next one. They are coming along so well..we are really proud of them. Nikita did the work with Arani today, he is just soo calm and on to it....He willingly comes forward now- I'll have to watch a bit more so that I can write up exactly what Lynn or Nikita are doing with him. Every day Lynn comes to help clean up, feed out etc and spend time each day teaching and learning with him- There is a great bond there now and then weekends when Nikita there she comes out and Lynn shows her how much he has learnt so that Nikita can do the same....it's just soo lovely to see them all together.
Oscar and I had a lot of fun today....He is now starting to lead quite well...takes a little bit to get started as always then he just gets in the groove and comes forward and back in the yoyo game..moves his hindquarters away with just a look to his back end...He will let me hold the clip on the halter now too- can run the pole down front and back- legs-chest over his rump in between his ears..and we can even both stand with our backs to the rain, as the horses do in the paddock...then when it hailed we both did the same and stood with our heads down as well...I'm sure he thought that was funny- I did. He is willing to come to me so much more every day now...Yay. His eyes are so soft by the end of the sessions -it's such a great feeling to see him grow in confidence.
