Bombproofing 3

[Shantara]

I wasn't sure how long to leave Ned after the dentist, so I didn't want to ride him in case his mouth was still a little sore.
I figured I'd pull out my bombproofing stuff again

What a great idea, how long did it take for him to become so completely unbothered by them? Presumably you started with just one item and gradually built them up?

To be honest, not that long! I only had a couple of items the first time, added more the 2nd time and went completely mad the 3rd haha

I love how he's just like 'tarp on my head, and what?' He seems really unphased by it all!

The helpful shedding removal bird is awesome!

 

[Starry_eyes]

LOVE it! He's such a dude....yeah umbrella on my back, whatever, *yawn*.....

Wow - he's amazing, and so are you for being so creative.

Might have a go myself now I've seen what you've managed to do. Would be a bit of entertainment for one field ornament and instructional and useful for the two that do get out and about.

 

[Shantara]

Thanks guys! I didn't think Neddy would take to it at all, because he can be a worrier, but he's like a pro now

Next step, try it with me on board! Getting either Mum or OH to come and help

Brilliant! I love to see stuff like this. Well done you and Ned.

Oh dear, I do have a long way to go.

Lovely video.

I took a beachball up the other day and with clicker training got the impossible pony pushing it with her nose.
Until she got bored and decided the grass in the unused field was more interesting.
So then used the ball as a "training aid" to stop grazing by kicking it towards her. It worked, she gave up and went back to pushing the ball.

Not entirely sure what we achieved though. Ball OK to approach and nose, ball not so good when moving.
It's a work in progress.

Ahh amazing haha he's so cool!

 

[Antw23uk]

He so isnt bothered is he

I love the Jackdaw ... I need to line my nest with horse hair so why wait for it to fall out naturally!

 

[Frosty89]

Aww bless him he was so good! I loved the bird at the end on the ponies back.

I might have to try some of this with my youngster although I think she'd be hot footing it over the arena fence.

 

[Shantara]

You should try It's so fun!

 

[ester]

be interested to know if it works I can (and have) entirely wrapped Frank in tarpaulin- he still spooks at them on a ride though

 

[CobsGalore]

Haha that made me chuckle. There you are kicking giant inflatables underneath and over him and he's like, "Face......bothered?" lol

 

[weebarney]

thanks for the inspiration, just need a kick up the arse to go try it out on mine.

 

[hessy12]

How nice to see someone doing things properly! Well done for all your de sensitising, it will pay off hugely in years to come.

Bril idea, he's so calm about it!

"Dude, I think you may have lost your umbrella, but its ok I got it back"
