I don't want to go through this gelding thing again, but I'm glad we did it and even more glad that it's over! :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-84213785916213413402012-03-24T07:59:14.073-05:002012-03-24T07:59:14.073-05:00I started to say bless their hearts, but I guess i...I started to say bless their hearts, but I guess it's really bless their parts!

I remember Rafer literally running every time we brought out his halter b/c he knew it was time for that dosing syringe.<br /><br />Redford ran like mad from husband last night - w/o the clicker. With me he is wary but he will come to me holding halter and the lead rope if I am using the clicker to say "yes" as he steps forward. I'm not able to give him the syringe w/o holding the halter but to be honest, I know how yucky it tastes and can't really blame him. I remember clearly being quite young and spitting out that yellow medicine they gave for ??? what???? I can't remember what they gave it for, but it was liquid and I can literally taste it this moment as I recall it.<br /><br />Anyway. Redford is running around, doing quite well, though still healing up, obviously.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-48174087076569561732012-03-23T17:26:36.620-05:002012-03-23T17:26:36.620-05:00Nice to hear of your practical successes of the cl...Nice to hear of your practical successes of the clicker.

We started our fly predators a few weeks ago which was fortuitous - should be getting the next batch any day now...

Glad he's taking to the clicker and made it easier on all of you with his hosing off. <br /><br />Salina is like my Blue and Donnie. The tick magnets of the barn. What a great idea to use clicker to take her mind off her ummm... delicate tick removal.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.com
