We had an absolutely wonderful time with Frosty today. He is such a joy to be around. Cliff and Becky started out the morning working with Frosty. They started out with the sliding neck loop and got a quick halter on him. After that Becky got some really good scratches in on both sides. Plus he was leading a little. Then we decided to give him a rest as well.

After about an hour Jackie asked if she could work with Frosty as well. Cliff went in to get the quick halter on him and then Jackie took it from there. After about 20 minutes she had him ready for a halter. So Cliff got back in and helped with the placement. He was leading rather nicely for his first try. The halter was taken off and Jackie was able to approach and get it back on him without any problems at all.

This guy is going to be a real pocket pony. He doesn't overreact and loves attention.

We had great progress with Moose today. Janet started out working him with the pole and was able to touch and scratch on him relatively quickly. Could scratch along his top line from his ears to his withers without much fuss. Could touch his left cheek and his chest.

Then Jackie Glanville came in and did some more pole work with him. Could get the pole all the way down his back hocks. And then was able to get in and touch him as well.

We then gave him about an hour break.

Upon returning Janet used the sliding neck loop on him and after a whole lot of fumbling was able to get a nose loop on him. You wouldn't believe the change in his personality once we had his nose. He was giving very nicely to pressure and we could approach and touch him without using the pole at all.
