This is a blog about my Adventures on Windy Hill and those who helped to create it. Windy Hill is what I have affectionately named the big old monstrosity of a farm house I blithely decided to purchase three years ago. I am an ultra girly girl and I think men should do all the man stuff, this would include house remodeling. Sometimes things don't always work out the way I think they should....
At last blog Remi loaded as into the trailer the very first time with all 4 feet. Well, he has made some more improvements. He now loads into the trailer, and we are working on closing the door behind him while he remains calm.
We are also working on Remi loading himself into the trailer. I don't like to walk into the trailer with a horse. I prefer that they load themselves. So, we are working on that now. He is progressing nicely. See below:
Last but not least, Remi's owner was able to come out and she loaded him into the trailer for the first time herself! It's one thing to see videos of your horse loading, or to know that someone else is loading him, but it's another thing to load him yourself. Don't forget, Remi has a personality that notes every little difference around him. Different, person, different perfume, different ...anything. He really needs confidence building and practice, so that's what we are working on with Remington. Meanwhile, here is the video of Remi loading into the trailer at his owners request!
Yes, he was nervous, but he persevered and his owner remained calm and assured him that he would not be eaten. Thus, he loaded and stayed in the trailer nicely.
**On a side note, yes, I know I am way behind on the blog. I really am working with Remington on the whole shots thing. I have footage of him somewhere reacting to a sharp toothpick, in the same manner in which he reacts to a real shot. Heck, even pinching the skin on his neck causes him trauma. I will post as soon as possible.
