Getting on with Training

It was another really hot day today- But great because Shanae was still here and we decided we would do some more training with Maxwell and Oscar.


Oscar being groomed

 All the horses have had a really GOOD roll in the mud after the rain, so it was a good excuse to groom them....I really want to work on getting Oscar ready for his first trim...He really needs it...So I have booked the farrier in for Thursday and if it doesn't go well we won't push him...He's fine with me touching and lifting his fronts, and Megan is coming tomorrow to see how we get on with her lifting them...I thibk he'll be ok as long as I'm beside him, but we'll see. I groomed him and Shanae sang and danced for him while the music played...I think he was quite amused- It's been brilliant having the kids around to get them used to other people.
Maxwell is just as cute as a button, He loves being groomed (went to take some photos of Shanae grooming him and the battery went flat so we'll have to take some more). He is also leading on the 12 foot line and following the feel much better now. I am giving it a few more days with the webbing halter on and the short leash attached and then I am going to take it off altogether- He runs to geet us every day now and doesn't have an issue with us putting the halter on & off. I want his feet done- or at least touched and lifted again by the farrier on thursday too...just to keep it going- his feet look pretty good but I want his legs handled again.

Shanae decided that things went so well she would like to spend some time grooming Louka as well.We turned on the music again and Louka just loves this - he totally relaxed and Shanae went to work on him,,,Oh how he loves the attention.
