Finally this seems to be paying off - today I was expecting a big session with Teddy and I ended up just walking over, he met me quarter of the way, I put the lead rope around his neck and hooked the swivel clip to his halter. As simple as that. I led him to the front gate, coaching him along a tiny bit at the start, then walked the half length of the property. I gave him heaps of rubs and let him go. He just hung around for more pampering. That seemed like such a high point that it was a good place to leave the session.
Tomorrow the farrier is coming after work so this should be a good test. He's a new farrier as the old one had his license suspended for the next 18 months and cant get out here anymore. Once Teddy's feet have been done I will be back into training. It seems like a good time as his calmed down a hell of a lot (as you can tell from the last post photos).
I hope it all goes well with the new bloke. Fingers crossed.
Salam ziarah dari Pak Karamu
