Alrighty, man it has been a while. Sorry everyone!
Vesta has been doing great! She leads very well and I am going to start working on getting the leave the pen. She is adorable and very smart. Once on the halter and lead she comes right up to me. It is amazing! We have another side pen which is bigger, I let here into it and we practiced leading through the gate. It was scary for her at first but she finally learned it wouldn't eat her and came through it quietly.
Feet. One of my main goals was to get her to pick up her feet.The faster I got those feet up, The faster I could get them trimmed. Vesta has progressed so much faster than I ever expected. I used a rope to get her used to things around her legs. After that, I rubbed down her legs. After some work, I am now able to pick up and clean all four feet and man, they need a trim.
Today it was terribly hot and I noticed Vesta was sweating bullets, so I decided trying a bath would be a good idea. She actually did very well, a little scared but very well!
Sorry I haven't posted more! Oh I also am keeping in contact with my friend Emma, she is very interested in horses and sheep and she will be helping me out occasionally!
What's a top? (to get her used to things around the legs)
ReplyDeletehow did she do getting her hooves trimmed?

Unfortunately she hasn't gotten them trimmed yet because the trimmer had vehicle complications. But she gets them trimmed soon! I think she will do very well!
