Work and Walkabout

Today Whisper went on an adventure. First we did groundwork which went well except for the moment I dropped the lead. I ran to jump on it which startled Whisper. Luckily I actually landed on my end just as he hit his end. Thinking I still had hold of him he continued his circle. We went over poles then over a small jump – he hasn’t jumped since his surgery. He did well and my husband was able to take some video. I haven’t seen it yet but will post it when I get it.

Afterwards we went on a walkabout. We went over the bridge which he checked out thoroughly but didn’t object to crossing. The water didn’t bother him; the ducks didn’t bother him; even the belligerant horses up the road didn't bother him. They bothered me - we didn't hang around. I had to tell him to get out of my pocket a few times but overall he was more interested than nervous. His was looking everywhere at once and his ears were swiveling so fast they were practically spinning. He got to graze a little and went back to his buddies with stories to tell.
