Chickory

This little darlin' is my dun granddaughter of Docs Hickory. I haven't started working with her yet because I have been concentrating on gentling Andee, who is for sale. She is still very stand-offish, and about jumps out of her skin if I get too close to her. I am a little reluctant to work her in the small pen that I am using for Andee, because I think it will make her panic to be that confined. She is starting to associate me with feeding time, but still won't let me close to her. Andee walked up to me tonight and took some grain from my hand, so I really did make good progress with her today. So I am going to have to do some figuring as to how to get to Chickory.

She does look wary, doesn't she!

Yeah, her tail is flicking...

That's good that she's figuring out that you're the one that brings the food.
