I groomed Gypsy Lando and then led her outside. Then I put on her bridle and her saddle. I tightened her girth to the first hole while she munched a carrot. I put herback in her stall and groomed her again.
Then I lead out Buster. I put on his halter and lunged him. Then I walked around the paddock and we walked past a blue tarp. When we got to the base off it and dug in his heels and refused to walk across it. We trited a few more times but he still wouldin't budge. Finally I got Anna to hold him while I led Gypsy Lando across. Then he walked VERY slowly across. We trited again a few more times until I put him back in his stall and groomed him until he shone.
Lstly I slipped Monk's halter over his ears and led him outside. We walked across the tarp a few times and then I put on a light saddle. He was fine so I tightened his girth to the first hole. He puffed up a bit so I fed him a carrot. He was too busy munching to notice me tighten the girth a hole. I tightened it a few more times and then I out him back in his stall and gave a him a good grooming with the dandy brush.
