Sometimes horses seem to happen for a reason and just as Jasper has taught Victor how to eat hay, Victor has taught Jasper that coming into the barn is nothing to worry about. They are so peaceable these two that I have no concerns about leaving them together to eat their hay while I get on with the chores.
With Jasper tucked away in a corner for a little while, Victor had another quiet session where he was mock tied, had his feet picked up while mock tied, groomed, tail washed and generally dried with a towel that might one day turn into a rug.
Leading has now progressed to the small paddock.
