I promise this will be the last Mark based pun. Yesterday two things happened. I went to greet Theoden in the field and he was lying down. I gave him a love, as you would when you given the honour of going up to a horse that trusts you to approach when he is lying down, put his head collar on and then gently asked him to get up. With that, he lay flat out on the floor and closed his eyes and started snoring. Anyway.....once he got up and was tacked up, I got on him and repeated all the things that I did on the last day of the clinic. He went beautifully.
Off to HorseWorld today to work with some of their loaners.
