All Accounted For At Last

Nov 29

            Jill and I decided we needed to get Trick and Treat up to the barn today. Another cold rain storm is coming in. I just have to get them out of the mud. I worked with Trick in the round pen until he stood still and then he let me put the ‘be nice’ halter on him. It works like a bosel hackamore. Within a short time he was actually leading…sort of. With Jill on a lead on his halter and me with the lounge line on the ‘be nice’ halter we started our way up to the barn. I had all the gates closed to best contain him if he got loose, but he was a champ and we made it with no problems. Now for Treat.
            Treat wasn’t as willing to leave the round pen or the paddock. To him it is a place of safety and food. He was good though and we made it to the barn and his stall without a problem. They will stay in the stalls for a couple of days and will keep their halters on while I get them used to being touched.
