Well well well, I can start by saying that i am busy trying to get the horsey area ready to go for winter blah. I have made and finished my bridge for them to walk on and my big tire is ready to be filled with dirt. Jay and i will fill it after lunch today. I will also get my electric fence rope ready not hooked up but ready. The barn is ready to go, with the water feeder filled and ready to be plugged in, it is clean well for the most part. The next thing i have to do is get my straw. And get it straightened out. Couple more things to do before the snow flies.

Anyway back to the topic of my blog, while i am outside doing everything My Freya is checking everything out. She walked right over to the bridge (after poncho was on it) and touched it and then snorted, i had a wee laugh about that, she didnt run from it at all. Just walked away. The next thing Jay and i did was fill that tire i was talking about. I had to shoosh them away and they just wouldnt go. They had to check out everything little move we made. LOL I then got my gate and i was hoping to get it set up, but i have to wait for a super spike before i can do that, or figure out where else to put it. That scared my girl quite a bit. She almost fell over on that one, but....after she figured it wasnt going after her she came back and touched it on the ground.

Last but not least I love her, she has changed so much. I can now walk right up to her and pet her on her head or neck, with no questions asked and she will stay there. I am rubbing her legs and trying to pick them up all from the same side. Got the front ones down pat, now i have to do the back ones, eek, all i will get there. So i didnt really play today, however she played by herself and i did some friendly just by walking around. Everytime she came around she would get another pat, or rub. Guess i should go back to work now.

  1. Undemanding time means the world to horses. Just hanging out with them and spending time doing nothing is a way to establish draw. They think you are cool if you just visit, ask little and allow them to come and go as they please. No wonder your relationship with Freya has caused her to change so much. She is picking up on your confidence and learning to be calmer because you are being a great leader and respecting her thresholds. Savvy girl. Good for you.
