The String
Did I mention Wonder is a genius? I can rub his entire body with the stick and he acts bored! So, go at the speed of the horse right? Today, I attached the string to the stick and began to swing the string gently over his back, hindquarters and hind legs. It didn't even faze him. I can't believe a foal this age can be so relaxed and receptive.
I ordered Clinton Anderson's foal series, Handling Foals, Weanlings and Yearlings, and am desperate for its arrival and a clear cut plan to follow. Although I know I really can't go wrong desensitizing, it will be great to have step-by-step instructions that will help me to become more effective with Wonder and keep us on the right path.
