What would I do without Jake?

Jakey - what a good boy - for us non horse peeps - what is "sack out" or do I really want to know?

 

[3TailsWaggin]

LOL, that is too cute.

Trying to make the horse spook under controlled conditions. I waved the noodle around his head, while he was in a halter and then when he stopped, I let him know he was a good boy. By the end of the session, I was lightly bopping him with it between his ears and he stood firm. I then touched his sides, his belly, his legs, etc. with it and everytime he stopped moving or reacting, he got praised. Finally I was tossing it lightly at his back legs and he didn't react.

This is why I asked the southern peeps if anyone had a beach ball. I want to use it to sack him out also.

I grow fonder and fonder of that boy.

Thanks for the links Laura - I read the first one and thought it really cool that the horse sacked her back with the blanket. I didn't know any of this stuff.

Shoulda done it with Harper - still spooked by plastic bags - LOL

Jakey is such a sweet helper! So far Daisy just thinks our horses are giant playmates, haha!

 

[Wendy B.]

Jakey you just make me smile when I see you helping out!

 

[Henery&Ollie's mom]

You'd be sooo lost without Jakey.

What a good little helper he is!!

 

[Callaway]

[RangerMom]

Jake is just the best!

 

[zoezoe]

gee mom; you could have gotten us a blue or green noodle instead of pink. LOL

 

[allthatjazz]

Oh Jakey, good looking and brillant too!

 

[labby]

That's all they had! I told you I'm in MI and the noodles are basically gone. This is the last one they had.

 

[mitziandjudysmom]

I don't dare use a noodle or any other foam water toys; M&J think it's great fun to shred it to many many pieces. Jakey is a very good boy.
