Dottie's Turn

In  my plans to mix things up i added some poles for the fig. 8 pattern.

 Dottie was a little distracted because a couple of tractors were ploughing up the field below.  Look how taught the 22' line is.

 This is Dottie's favourite position as her reward is to have her tummy scratched, here, here and here please!
Such a beautiful little pintolossa and so much fun.

Dottie's Turn

I try to change things up as we all get bored with the same old same old. So i added poles to the tires to add interest to the fig. 8.

 Dottie enjoyed it but was a little distracted by the big tractor next door.  Interesting that she is going RB look how tight the rope is.

This is her favourite position because i can scratch her tummy here, here and here.  LOL  Lovely little Pintolossa.

Your turn Dotti

Added some interest to the figure 8 game.

Dotti loves me to scratch her tummy. She rushes over to the tire and says "Ok scratch me here and here and here".

Fun with 22' Feather lines

 Finally after 10 attempts i have managed to upload photos.

 

I set up some cones down the driveway.  I wanted to see if Buzz would weave through the cones. Of course Dotti had to come too.  She doesn't like to miss anything especially if there is a promise of grass at the end of the driveway .

 

Once Buzz realized i wanted him to "walk on" with me behind he did very well.  But i did have to go back and fix my send on the circle.

The Little Red Ball

We haven't been able to play in the paddock as its been so wet.

I wanted to add some imagination into playing with my horses and felt i was far to focused on the tasks.

So we have been having some fun with a new red ball.  Dotti loved the big blue ball, the green one has a leak.  I brought the red ball as it has a handle and i thought it would be fun to teach her to pick it up.

Armed with a pocket full of sticky dates i went out this afternoon with the intention of playing with Dotti but The Boss aka Buzz had other ideas.  Protecting his herd of two Dotti was sent to the far corners of the paddock.

Buzz plays "put your nose on this" game quite well.  It did not take him long to get the idea and my intention was to ask him to pick it up.  It didn't take him long to get this either.  So we quit there as he gets easily bored.

So what did i learn from this?

1. How much fun we have together.
2. How quickly he learns fun things.
3. Interesting how he thinks of me as his herd - or was he protecting his date source.
