I was sitting in the field earlier trying to get one of the new shetties to come over to me (hes very nervous) but then the little mare came over to me and start grooming my shoulder and almost kissing my face, then picked a front foot up and placed it in between my x'd legs in which seemed like an attempt to sit on my lap! very random! had to back her up but she tried it again. bless her shes only tiny but defo don't want her on my lap haha
 
My boy used to chase my labrador Stanley(sadly he died last week), and Stanley taught him how to walk about with a stick in his mouth. I'll have to get a pic of it soon :)

Haha wow now that picture I would like to see!
OP watch out, my mum's friend has a shettie who sneaks into the house if you leave the door open! :eek::D
 
haha how funny, I would love to see the stick carrying too!

oh no, im moving them up to my house for a bit to save me on livery until I get a full time job again, so I might come home and find them in my bed haha! I bet the girl would be more likely to do that!

Any tips of making the nervous boy less nervous, he seems better when I crouch down but he still doesnt want to walk over to me! got him over a couple of times with x-stong mints the other day but he seems so worried about being caught! don't want to always have to box him into corners!

here they are

Aww they look very sweet :) I think the best thing is to keep spending as much time there as possible and giving them mints too is a good idea so they associate you with a positive experience rather than just being caught.
