Play Date with Scribble!
After Fridays delayed loading from Royal Oak we went out again today. On the way home - same thing - after playing with a young horse for an hour in the round pen, after they left it took me an hour to load him.
I tried all of the following;
- Yo Yo in
- Leading in
- Send in
- Squeeze past ramp (fine)
- Squeeze in
- Played circle game again in round pen and tried again (that worked on Friday)
- Tried driving from Zone 3 with CS
- Tried using the clicker
- Tried showing him carrots in the trailer
- In the end - much to my disappointment in myself - I pulled him in! I leaned on the rope matching his resistance until he took a step forward - then I released - he weighs 600kgs - took three pulls. Once 3/4's of the way in he just got on as if to say - oh - is that all... and started eating the carrots and munching on hay.
Here's a snippet on video - it was basically back to - lets just relax and come in - and me trying to figure him out period....
