Louka Arani and Oscar are in the new pen now.

It was a bit of a mission for these 3 to go down the new race and into the yards, but they eventually realised what we wanted and in they went...The approach and retreat method again...they went into the race- came out -went in came out- about 3 or 4 times, then once they were satisfied..interestingly enough it was Arani that went first...I think the grass in the race was just too much for greedy old Louka, but non the less they went in. I have taped off grass behind the barn so that they can easily be brought in and out for training....Lynn is seriously training Arani now- we need to float him down to her place, so he is doind a lot of the yoyo game- squeeze me and circling game in readiness for floating....Today I started on Louka as well - as he will need to be floated to the     A & P Show in a couple of weeks with Sarg- he has been on the float before but not much so he will need a lot of exposure to it too. I shampoo'd him (my Gosh he's a good look'n chap)- and went through all 7 games with him...He was great- especially as we haven't done an awful lot with him recently. He sure loves the hose...investigates everything brushes, buckets even the nozzle while the hose is on- even when it squirts up his nose he doesn't really mind......He will go into the roundpen tomorrow and I'll do a lot more with him. Can't wait to get that far with Oscar as well.
