Progress

 Last post I mentioned that the next step was to be able to catch the colts out in the pen- that afternoon, it happened! Boe let me catch him out there; Scooter still had to be in the barn. The next day both of them let me catch them out in the pen, several times, so that is pretty good progress in one week! From barely handled to ok catch me, pick up my feet, lead me, etc. - I'm happy with that. 

Shayla came over and we had a good session with the Boyz. She got to see and assess their personalities, which is always fun. 

They really are good boys.😊 They led around, separate and together, feet got picked up; they got more work on following the lead rope when we put it around their butt on the side away from us and ask them to turn away and then come to us. 

We also dewormed them, good thing too judging by the evidence of worms in their poop this morning!

Today they got their first intro to standing tied, which of course is fake tying them and stepping away from them. They both stood and didn't try to leave or follow me. 

I took the opportunity to brush them both too.

They are doing so well, it's time to start trailer loading training! This is actually going quicker than I thought it would. 

We did a leg measure too- 16 hh for Scooter and 15.2 for Boe when they are all grown up.
