Hi all, I know we have discussed this but I wanted to post again to re ignite some support notes. I am preparing Storm for his 3rd dental appointment since owning him.. he is usually sedated as reared off the scale with the vet the last time! So... I am using methods of building trust with him when the vet comes... usual methods of approach: - Bowl of nice food to start the experience - Agreed area for the task so he gets used to - Plenty of touch/reiki before vet comes - Touching his mouth/gently around where the dental bit goes However! As he has no bit I have not really worked on this!! I need help with any "step by step" advice for his mouth area so he knows to open it once sedated😵‍💫 Any quick wins I can practice on before booking... I am planning April/May so I have more time to embed new techniques with him. Thanks all 🤠🐴🫶🥕

Got good internet again so sharing video I did on Storm lowering head for the first time!!! This was 3/4 weeks so I have given him a couple of weeks off due to endless rain so he can process.... be interesting to see how he is when I next ask him... need to do both sides too!!!

The stick measured 14.1hh whih i feel swas not very accurate she didnt stand still in cm i measured 148cm whihc is closer to 14.3hh than 14.1hh her dam is confirmed 15.1hh and percheron x frieshian x boerperd sire is still unknown so no clue what are yalls predictions for her mature height i have been told 15.1 at most but not knowing the sire doesnt help much i know. Amajority of horses finsih around the dams height but sires can add so details Currently 148 cm Age 1 year 7 months bday is in july Dam percheron x frisian x boerperd Sire unknown estimated height in discussion Adding pics as a 3 month old 6 month old and a 1 year old

What are some light excercises i can do with baby gravy like shes strong for her age when she gets excited she pulls note i had her in a nylon halter that was when i first got her so not her fault or mine i wasnt sure abiut alot of things mostly caus ei didnt know her yet shes a sweetie pie and a massive cuddle bug has typical mare look always pins ears never bites or kicks.i can walk with her food she will walk with me ears pinned once again no biting or being mean at all she pins her ears when i clean her feet no kicking or pulling away but i call her name ears forward and trots up to me now i have not had her for long at all she arroved the 15th of this month so im looking for some bonding excercises i can do other than just sitting with her since shes a baby id like to do something that will keep her baby brain busy i groom clean feet sit qith her ive taken her on walks and she did not pull at all she stayed by my side so im chalking up the pulling to terrible halter,babybrain and alot of excitement cause when i took her out she was an angel she stands but obviously gets impatient so thats something she knows verbal cues not all that great but knows them thinking of starting liberty maybe with a clicker or something but i still need options for soem good treats or any kind of food i can use for it as a reward shes had a saddle on and a bridle not for long but made no fuss this was when previous owner had her she is not ridden and it was a very light trail saddle she had a bridle with no bit on by me just let me slip it on was such an angel i can do her feet without a halter she has a ball and some toys but im not sure if she plays with it or its the wind moving it so any bonding siggestions would be great sorry for the long post just wanted to include all also starting to see some of that big draft in her body refereing to pic added
