Take the time to take the time

Well I am just so thrilled today...Oscar let me take to his mane with the scissors...I didn't want to use them really but there were 9 dreadlocks in his mane and they were getting bigger by the day...so all that work that we went through over many previous days introducing a huge assortment of things including the scissors has paid off...He let me today cut them out- he stood still very calmly- shows huge trust to me now....I have been clipping and unclipping the long leadrope on and off all the time now as well as I want to be able to do a whole lot more with him very soon...we practise some of the 7 games daily now....I drenched them all too today, so here's hoping they are clear now. Haven't really had many worms from this lot...so they must've got a good drench when they were first mustered. Good work everyone!!!!  Louka was so good he stood beside Oscar at the beginning almost took over the lesson himself....Hahaha he's such a breeze. I trimmed his forlock just so that he felt important.hee hee. Arani watched with great interest especially when I was doing Louka- you could almost see him thinking what's that human doing she's all over Louka and he's loving it.... He doesn't mind you brushing and grooming either so we are achieving quite a bit now.
