Check it out! A relaxed Chickory- and notice that she is now OK with me being on her right side!
Can't get much more relaxed than that!
She took some grain from my hand for the first time.......
And she leads now without me having to put pressure on the lead rope! Yahoo! I'm very proud of my little filly. She let me brush her all over, including her front legs and her belly. I can pick up her feet on her left side, and should be able to do the right side on our next session. I'm not calling her halter broke until I can walk up to her in the open and catch her, have her stand tied, and pick up and clean all four feet. (In the first picture, the rope is just threaded around the panel, not tied off.)
Meanwhile, Peppy is growing like a weed, and has finally filled out again after going through a growth spurt.
But he is still as cute as a bug's ear!
And he has a nice soft eye, like his daddy.

looks good! how is the leg healing?
It is coming along; she is walking better on it but there is still some heat in it. I figure another week or so; tendons take a while.
Look at those winter coats coming in! He is such a cutie.
Chickory come such a long ways since you got her!
I can't believe how big Peppy is getting. And gorgeous, too!
Looking good! Slow and easy is my motto! It will payoff in the end!
Peppy~ you need to do a side by side of him and his dad's eyes!
