A change of plan

All my previous plans for work I was going to do with Harry have been temporarily chucked, as a friend has got me into clicker training! I have ordered the books, got treats and a clicker and started practising on the dogs - it's really easy and fun!

SO when I have finished the books I will be starting clicker training with Harry. At the moment it's life-threatening trying to go see him as he is in a village with an incredibly icy road. I managed to see him christmas Eve, we spent some time having cuddles and scratches he was dozing in the rare sunshine and so sweet. I love how I can pick up all his feet loose in the field still, I hadnt seen him for over a week and yet it might have only been a day it never makes a difference to him. I really do have to drag myself away from him. I have owned Harry for over a year now, how time flies! I still love my pony more than ever, he really is such a gentleman. Anyway, latest photo of the hairy beast!

Well vet thought Harry probably had only bruised his foot, and today (blacksmith day) he wasnt lame at all, so that's a relief. I love my pony, took some more pics of him, can't believe how much he has changed since last year :)

Winter Blues

Haven't actually done much at all with Harry, rubbish winter evenings too short for anything, so he's just out in a field playing with his friend :) And today he was lame, most likely caused by a huge stone in his foot? Still he timed it well as vet is out tomorrow for jabs and blacksmith out tues for trims so if he's still lame one of them will know whats wrong! Bless him. Nothing more to report just an update, probably won't do any more updates till spring now when we shall start long reining. (my instincts said I was getting ahead of myself thinking about sitting on him so soon)
