i havent thought of this before till a friend of mine mentioned it today. why dont we introduce youngsters to stuff we are going to do to then when they are older.
istead of waiting till they are 3/4
i have a yearing colt who i have had for nearly 2 months came, who we brought in for a play today. he can be tied up groomed feet picked etc, which i would expect at his age.
but he also has a measuring stick put to him reg, my friend was shocked that he stood there quite happy with me waving the stick around whislt chating and measuring, he has his fly spray an fly hat on.
i can wrap the hose all over him and bath him down competly. had rugs put over him and he has had a play with them, elastic surcyles round him.
he goes back and over when told
he comes to the gate neighing when i go to get him in, never had a day when he wont be caught
he had a bridle on for the first time today and took it all in his stride.
he seems to take everything in his stride. alot easier than producing a fly spray bottle etc when they are older and them going nuts
so why do people just put them out in the field and forget about them till they are old enough to be broken. what would they do if they got injured. surly its easier to introduce stuff slowly now instead of a battle later on.
sorry not sureif this makes any sence
