Whisper has had a short vacation while my mother and I went to Seattle to do the Yule/Christmas thing with relatives and friends. The horses were not forgotten. Everyone asked after Whisper and heard his story again. All the horses got treats and Whisper received new grooming tools which he really appreciates. He loves being groomed and fussed over. Thanks to Willow and Ajay and Haven and Orie. You all have a standing invitation to visit any time.
Today was Whispers weekly training session. We showed off what we’ve been working on and Samantha said he’s making great progress. Most of the lesson was spent teaching him to move over poles. He stumbled over them initially but quickly learned to pick up his feet. You could see him working out how best to get over them and pretty soon he was timing his trot so that each foot cleared the next pole in a fluid motion. It was really pretty to watch and he seemed to be having a good time. As soon as I can get some video I’ll post it. I’ll continue this for the next week then we’ll bring in the cavalettis and raise the poles a bit. I'm incredibily pleased with his progress and really looking forward to seeing how he handles this next step.
