Halloween Preperations
I got out and worked with horses yesterday!
That makes only the second time this whole month. The other things I was busy with were great, but it’s good to be back to the horses.
I have an idea for Halloween. I want Sunshine to stand on a mat and wait until he gets the cue. Then come forward, step up onto his pedestal, then put a foot up on the pumpkin. Like he’s conquering it.
Maybe some day. Yesterday he was having one of his days where everything is going to eat him, jumpy, spooky, completely unable to focus. He was able to step onto the pedestal, but someone (me) was going to get smashed and he wasn’t actually learning anything. So we called it quits and I traded him out for Rusty.
Rusty was amazing. He totally got the idea. Of course he’s done this sort of thing before under different circumstances. Just need to get him to step onto the pedestal on his own. I want to be out of the picture, literally, when we do this for real, maybe in costume.
He is such a pretty fall color all on his own, Rusty doesn’t really need a costume. Sunshine would make such a pretty horse angel though. I want the wings on him! We’ll see. He’d had a month off. Maybe with time and repetition he’ll settle a little.
Video to come, maybe, hopefully. It’s windy and cold outside so I am more likely to edit video instead of work horses
