"The Horse is a gift from God" Arabian proverb

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

The Autumn Collection

Building on last night’s success, I decided to try Faith with her outdoor rug on tonight. It had been a lovely warm dry day, so they had all had the sun on their backs all day which was nice. I did exactly what I did last night , and just started off as I normally would with rug desensitisation, and in no time I had the rug on Faith and all done up.

Again I hung around for a few minutes just to make sure all was well, and when it became apparent that Faith couldn’t be less bothered, I scooted off to do the poo picking.

When I came back, I let her out on to the yard to mooch about a bit while I took some piccies. Then it came to taking the rug off. Now just bearing the past existence of the Velcro monster in mind, I borrowed Tilly’s fly mask and just did a bit of my usual Velcro desensitisation stuff. When I felt that Faith was sufficiently relaxed, I just undid the Velcro at the front of the rug, and she didn’t bat an eyelid.

It is supposed to be horrible weather tomorrow, but what would really brighten my day would be if I could send Faith off into the field clad in her lovely snuggly rug. Keep fingers and toes crossed for us please!

Other than that, I will let the piccies speak for themselves!
