I have such a smart girl!!! Today I decided to adjust Funny as I had done Dan and.. why not!? I'm a little worried that her right front foot is getting clubby so I wanted to see if I could help! So... I put her in the cross ties and got started. She was super! We had one little snafu when she had gotten far enough back in the cross ties and then leaned back when I did her knees and she pulled back! Oops. Sorry baby girl. Luckily (unluckily) the halter didn't break and she stopped pulling and fighting and then stepped forward. And luckily I hadn't adjusted her poll yet. ;) She was even brave when I stood on the mounting block to do her back. :) She didn't have a lot going on... both accessory carpals, C7 on the right, and her poll. Also C2P. And her right pelvis was sticky. But she adjusted well and I even got a tiny lick and chew here and there. :)
So then we went into the wash rack and then she backed into it. Yay! So... I took her to the trailer. I walked her halfway up and backed her down and she did great. And the ramp was even a little steep. So we did that a few times and then finally I just walked her up! And then she backed right off! She went a little sideways and stepped off the ramp early but didn't panic. So I decided for one more try. She got a little cocky and slipped and slammed her face or foot into the dangling butt bar... but go on. Then the poor girl was shaking when I asked her to back, but she did. She got a cookie and then we went and got a carrot and loaded and unloaded again and this time it wasn't scary! GOOD GIRL!
So then I turned her back out and she decided to have some zoomies. Hee hee.... I might have spoken too soon about her being so good and so easy. Apparently she is still a bit wild. And she is kicking/pawing at the stall. And... today I also caught her chewing on the electric bucket cord! Hee hee... I love her!
