I don’t have any facilities, which generally doesn’t bother me but boy would it make first lessons easier with Niko (2yo welsh D x Arab for anyone who missed it). I’d give my right arm for use of a round pen. I don’t want to do a lot yet, maybe just tinker about but I think taking him out of the field away from Jess would be good for him too, as my yard area is in the field he’s not even taken out to be tied up and he’s a little bit like Velcro to her.
So the cheeky bit, my neighbours have a woodchip school at their house, I’m friendly with them but not hanging out together friends. They are just the nicest people and will in all likelihood say I can borrow their school, possibly even if they’d rather not lend it out, do I still ask?
I do have a plan with a local trainer to take Niko over for some ground work lessons in the spring and he has all the facilities, but it’s a 5 hour walk away because although I’ve got the trailer I’ve got no access to a tow vehicle at the moment. It’s no real loss if I don’t do anything with Niko until then but I don’t want him getting too clingy to Jess. I have been taking him out in hand once every 2-3 weeks already too.
