"The Horse is a gift from God" Arabian proverb

The most precious gift we can give to the horse is time.

Just a quickie!

Well it has been an eventful few weeks for Faithy-poo.

As Tilly had to be on box rest because of her lami attack, Faith had to get used to going out in the field on her own. Fortunately we have been able to leave the yard gates open, so that Faith could potter in and out of the yard and field as she likes, and Tilly still got a bit of company now and again.

So Faith has started to become a little more independent, and was quite happy to graze alone in the field as long as she knew she could pop back into the yard to see Tilly when she wanted.

We have also been doing some training with a spray bottle and some water, and she will now happily be sprayed all over, which makes things like applying conditioner/fly spray/ wound spray so much easier.

Our next little project is to work on being able to hose her down. Wish me luck!
