Blue and the rope


Okay - so I do get it - Blue hates the rope. We spent ages today just playing friendly game with the rope to try and make him realise I was not going to hurt him with it. Blue spent the whole time trying to not let me get behind zone one with rope in hand. Phew - it was tiring - mentally and the fact it was so hot.

Finally I got to a stage where Blue was relaxed enough to graze while I half the 12ft line about halfway up and rubbed my hand all over him so the rope touched his sides and legs as I did. That took about an hour.

Then I took them both in for some grooming - this is them waiting to see if I was maybe going to bring them a carrot - cute hey!
