This is from just a few days ago...
Amazing difference. And no, I didn't use any miracle product. Just some gentle cleaning, antibiotic cream, fly mask, and halter free. The power of Mother Nature works wonders.
Yesterday while doing groundwork, Grace decided to test me. After lunging (at a walk) to the right, she decided that "no, I don't want to go left thank you!" She'd been doing so well, it kind of caught me by surprise. I upped the ask, she'd upped the refusal. Before we both escalated the disagreement to far, I went to disengaging her rear while my thoughts regrouped. Asked for left again, while she hesitated a moment she went off again no problem.
Began yielding the front last night. My cues X her understanding me it took a bit but, we got to one step on each side and ended. The day before, I asked her to move in the barn without thinking, she promptly side passes out of my way. Dang, can't recall how I asked lol.
Sounds like you made a good decision to get her out of her brace! Her face looks much better!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine it feels better as well
DeleteWhen my sister and I were teenagers, we'd find horses in random places in the suburbs with halters left on. We would lure the horses to us and remove their halters and fling them into the woods.
ReplyDeleteWe were not the Christian kids our parents had raised at those moments, but we were trying to help those horses.
I think you called me a red head the other day. I wanted to say, that at the doctor the other day, I said I had red hair and the lady said, "What? That's not red. That's blond."
Ok then.
I'd say that's a pretty Christian thing to do. For the horses anyway. My daughter is married to a "ginger". Their daughter so far is dark haired inside, but boy when the sun hits. It's flame on. Love it
DeletePoor baby. Glad you are giving her a chance so she can heal both inside & out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, she's so sweet she make it easy to want to help her.
