You seem to be doing so well with him. Love his face at the trough there! Nice pipe btw. I obtained something similar just before the lockdown last year, never used them as I forgot all about them and shoved them into one of the pig barns. I might have a mess about with them if the wind dies down.Had a really good little sesh with Niko tonight, got the old clicker out and boy oh boy was he excited when he realised it involved treats it certainly distracted him from his current desire never to leave Jess’ side.
He id some lovely leading, rating speed, turns on the haunches and forehand and walked over a new scary pipe I’d put out especially

then he very politely asked to stop for a drink

I’m really happy with his efforts tonight, he cottoned on really quickly that treats were not forthcoming if he was looking at me, and learnt a new cue ‘away’ which will hopefully help stop him crowding me when he’s not totally confident
It was a free-be I picked up locally but great to get everyone stretching their legs a bit more stepping over, it’s got cones wedged in the ends to hopefully stop it disappearing in tomorrow’s stormYou seem to be doing so well with him.

That’s a good idea wedging the cones. It’s whipped up here to 60mph already. I’m about to go and give night time hay.It was a free-be I picked up locally but great to get everyone stretching their legs a bit more stepping over, it’s got cones wedged in the ends to hopefully stop it disappearing in tomorrow’s storm
That he is, he’s growing into his baby face nowHe's beautiful too! Don't forget beautiful!
I’ve looked a couple of times and wondered if he’s actually a year younger than he is, I don’t think so really. Bo was half Arab and he had that same weedy/gangly look at this age and didn’t really grow into himself until he was 6 or 7, then he was a chunky monkey!Honestly Charlie's neck is twice as thick, he looks at least 3 years older than Niko. Amazing how differently they develop!
