So Far So Good

Yesterday was the 1 week mark since we brought Freedom home. So far, everything is going better than expected. He's already looking a lot better, his ribs are filling in, and he has more energy. I've been working with him on the lunge line, and he knows how to pick up the trot and canter both directions, and how to whoa. Kinda important on that one. Yesterday I took him for a walk while my husband cleaned out his stall. After a few minutes, I unsnapped his lead rope and let him go. He cruised around the pasture, checking to see exactly how far he could go. After a few laps, he walked right back over to me, I resnapped the lead, and we walked together a little more. By then it was starting to rain again, and his stall was done. He wasn't too happy about his bucket of feed for some reason. Maybe because I'd just wormed him, that stuff can't taste too good, or maybe because it's the first time I'd forgotten his carrots. I'll make sure that's all it was when I go out this evening. Happy first week Freedom!
