Belgian Drafts

A place to share stories about playing, training and owning Belgian Drafts.

Help

Yesterday Tasha came to help me. I love that savvy club members are so supportive and you never feel alone.

 

She agreed with my plan so just having a little bit of back up made me feel much more confident about what I had been doing. We played the catching game with him a couple of times.

 

He took off a couple of times but Tash was able to hold onto him.

 

Operation Arthur

My plan for the week seems to be working well so far. Tonight he came to the gate when I called him. Gave him some carrots and some scratching. Got his halter on him, managed to get him into the stable for a handful of food. Then back to the field for more carrots and scratching.  Hopefully this is all making me more interesting to him.

 

Didn't try to play any other games with except for asking him to back away from the gate when I opened it. He took a step back just from a phase 1 wiggle of my finger so was pretty pleased with that.

Bad Times

Well we have been playing the games for a few months now. Had some fab moments including lessons with 2 different Parelli Professionals and yesterday was spent all day watching a 3 star PP give two new friends lesson.
