As mentioned in yesterday's entry - Huey will just spend the next few weeks getting nice and fat before we get into any real work .... Plus I want to get my farrier (who as I mentioned, has gone AWOL), to attend to his terrible feet. At this point, I'm unsure as to whether or not I'll shoe him... For the next few weeks I think all he'll need is a regular trim-when we move into serious work, then the shoes can go back on ...
Am currently working on his demon-horse attitude he sometimes adopts. That's alot of horse there, and I want to assert myself as the boss-lady. He's not really a bad boy, he just obviously feels a bit threatened around food. When we establish his manners, he'll be a much calmer boy.
He ate his hard feed and about half his lucerne pile today - then left it. A good sign that he's starting to feel more comfortable and getting full-up. He's not scouring - everything is relatively solid, and he was wormed last Friday (the 19th) ... Life is good for the big grey pony!
