A picture says a thousand words...

So this picture of my girl (the bay) was taken today. It doesn't look like much but this little photo represents a range of little victories and achievements for us, a very proud moment for me to say the least!

So over to you..

From this simple little photo what little problems do you think we may have conquered?

The horse wouldnt tolerate the little dog before?

 

[Brimmers]

Did she have trust issues? As she looks super relaxed with you there now, maybe that wasn't always so?

 

[Mongoose11]

Was scared of dogs previously? Has had a foreleg removed and learned to balance using her nose?

 

[Luci07]

sorry... but the picture to me just takes out the horse altogether. Its all about the dog and the tennis ball with the "throw it for me. Now" expression on his/her face!

 

[CobsGalore]

Being happy turned out?

 

[RainbowDash]

Horse Eating Tennis ball phobia cured??

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Has had a foreleg removed and learned to balance using her nose?

Hahaha, brilliant

Long-term injury - Ie first time being turned out after box rest?
Phobia of dogs conquered?
Your sunshine dance worked and the rain stayed away for 5 minutes?

Have you stoped your horse from stealing the lovely little dogs ball ?

 

[Singing Dawg]

You have trained it not to roll?

It is grazing away from it's grey pal in the background?

It's eating grass not fenceposts?

Loving all your suggestions, especially the 3 legged horse and horse eating tennis ball ones! Many of you have guessed a couple so here it is.

1. She used to be awful with dogs, from the day I tried her, when she spooked horrendously at the most harmless puppy (yes I still went through with it and bought her ) if the dogs went in the field she would regularly try her best to to jump, stand, trample them so her being friendly with little Thomas here is a big step forward

2. As a stressy ex racer we have had major issues with her separation anxiety. For a long time if the cremello in the background was even taken onto the yard, even in full view, she threw the biggest fits, would not eat, and pace the fence like I've never seen before. We have about three trenches where she has paced and we have had to move the fence line back. As you can see she now doesn't bat an eyelid and will happily graze confidently alone

3. I have been battling with her weight ever since I bought her in march and especially during this winter. I'm not one for overrugging but because of this I have been reluctant to have her naked much at all, so although it was chilly the sun was shining and she had the whole day out naked and I think she is looking pretty good and a healthy weight so big thumbs up there!

4. OUR FIELDS ARE DRY!
