Miserable, dreary day here today, so Max and I didn't get up to much, other than a quick groom and a bit of play in his stable.
I'm trying to teach him to shake his head as well as nodding it. I don't have to blow raspberries any more; I can either nod my own head and he'll copy, or I can ask him a question like: "Are you happy to see me?" and he'll nod emphatically.
My mistake today, was asking him a question as he had finished having a drink from his bucket. He nodded with enthusiasm, and I got drenched as my pony became a powerful water fountain.
He and his fieldmate not keen on the field this afternoon. They both hung around the gate like a couple of bad smells.
"Hey! You there! Back in now, please. No good out here. Brr! Aw, c'mon! Be nice to the horses!"
