Getting better and better

Haven't done anything with Oscar for a few days again..Have had visitors and then Father's day, so all I had time for was feeding horses, calves and humans.heehee.
Today Oscar didn't walk straight up to me..almost as though he was saying - well if you showed up for our lesson EVERY DAY I'd be a bit more motivated!!!! But after some coaxing he was soon back to his old self.I managed to brush him today- took a while but I was able to do his back- above the tail and along his neck...He loved me scratching around his ears with my hand too- but he wouldn't let me do too much with the dreadlocks...that'll come..He is still pretty light on the halter, Oscar yawns and relaxes right beside me now so I am really pleased- just have to remember it's litle steps make huge inroads. Arani is now letting Lynn stroke him and he LOVED the brushing too- in fact I think he almost went to sleep while that was happening. At the start of the session today he kept turning his bottom in towards her, but once we figured out that it was actually what he was being asked, he stopped immediately once the ask was done properly...He  really loves these sessions too. We have learned so much with these two. Can't wait to get on to more sessions now.
