Such a good girl. :)
I really look forward to you and Sandy’s updates.
Aw thank you! 😊
Sandy posts always make me smile 😊 Love to hear your updates and so grateful she has someone like you.
I love that you love posts about her! I love sharing her with people!
No horse loves to roll in the mud as much as a dapple gray.
Is there any possibility she has golden retriever in her blood? They’re worse than pigs for a good wallow.
Honestly she might lmao. I wanted to try to clean her up a bit before I had to go home, but the mud hadn’t dried yet. It was a little too cold for a bath, but even if it was warmer, I don’t think she’s ever gotten a proper bath before. I tried to bathe her last summer and she flipped out. My goal is to get her a bath this summer, but it’s gonna require me to desensitize her to the bathing hose over time.
Good luck, I’ve learned to just accept the difficulties with my rescue dog and love him for himself. Although even he’s learned to be chill with the vacuum cleaner now, and he really hated it before, so I’m sure you have a chance. Just takes time.
Have the hose visible before using with a routine before use, use it in a safe way over and over again. But I know nothing about horses, just what might work.
She’s a very good girl, and I’m happy to see she’s enjoying herself!
Random question does she wear that around her head all the time?
She only wears her halter when she’s out of her stall. Some people take halters off their horses when they put them outside to play and move around, but I don’t just in case something happens and I need to get control of her quickly.
She can be very skittish at times, so being able to get control of her quickly is important. She’s still getting used to being outside of her stall and interacting with people and being around other horses. She was in her stall without any interaction other than feeding, watering, and stall cleaning for a very very long time before another person and I started working with her.
She’s comparable to a neglected, stray dog that is learning how to be loved by humans. She’s doing remarkably well, but still has a long way to go with some things.
Interesting, thank you for answering, I hope she becomes less skittish for you overtime :)
