Just passing through...
He's now eight (I think, I lose track) and when tied up in pretty much any situation, as soon as he's bored he starts pawing.
He paws to get attention. To show his displeasure. To show impatience.
Whilst he's been backed I've been too heavy for him, so he's spent a lot of time being a large pet lawnmower, however that's going to change - we're both going to lose some weight and get fit and he's going to join the world of the working horse, which I think he'll enjoy whether he likes it or not
Anyhoo, whilst I'm fine and dandy with the rest of his education, and will get in the experts if I get stuck, the pawing is the one thing I've not been able to crack.
He's unshod and he doesn't do any damage per se, other than a bit of paint off my lorry, but he does need to stop before he gets a leg caught up on something. Plus more work means more time being tied up and being away from the others. He may well start to wear the hoof.
I think there's some Aldi chocolate left, though it's not the best it goes fine with a large mug of coffee
