Gravy is on her way and will be ariving tomorrow
Update idk what number hehe
Dekota did good she stood to let me pick out her foot then we had an extra challenge which we did not plan for and she passed cleaned her hooves with the pick when i get to the right she i dont know if she loses balance or if she get a fright when the sand or something touches her and pulls away but the ultimate test was when we didnt see the branch on the sand and her leg got held up with the branch and she stood like a champ this is closer to the end if the video so two wins today definatly progress i did not expect her to remain that calm when her leg got stuck it just shows we are doing soemthing right yaaay

@Zoë Coade thank you ill take a not her friend gravy is arriving sunday so in two days and im hoping wiht her presence she also feels betteri amalmost 100% sure this will help her relax as shes apparently never been alone so that was news to me
Update on dekotas progress
It is sad to say she has gone lame in front due to having a lack of farrier visits but thus update aint all that sad we are making steady progress tho i wish i had more time before she started going lame hopefully to prevent it i was not so lucky we are at the point where she allows me ti pick up all fours with almost no problem other than balance but i need to get a farrier out ASAP and she still scared of the brush on the hoofpick so we shall see how this goes i can do sedation but that is alot of money and i feel like there might be soemthing else i can try before sedation to help her be ok with the farrier just taling off the pressure points its not about perfection its abiut her being confortable again for movement not for me but for herself pick of me cleaning her foot i can puck it out but once she hears the brush its a no any afvice pic of her being a good girl and the pics sent to the farrier note she was also scared of me even bringing the phone close enough to take pics but allowed it with some time today i picked it up an dcleaned it for the third time and she only lost balance twice without movement we cant work on balance and it obviously sore to put pressure on how can i help her note this is the third time EVER since she had her feet cleaned let alone picked up but its urgent
