27th September, 2014 In Honour of Julie's Mum


It's quite normal for Forest animals to have several aliases given to them by their various fans. I'm naming this brand new baby donkey Valerie, in honour of Julie's Mum who apparently reads this page nearly every day. Thank you for the loan of your daughter, Valerie. She takes a good photo and she's great company on a Saturday.


It was back to Lenki again today to help him get over his fear of the horsebox and to help him find his way about in there.


The flag is just a boundary to assess how a horse might react to being closed in. R is getting solid ramp gates to go in this horseobx as the ramp itself is pretty short and won't be high enough when closed to keep him in if he thinks about leaving. Nevertheless he was much more comfrotable about staying in this time and became more and more relaxed as we progressed.


Just relaxing in the horsebox before coming out each time. He thinks I can't see the faces he pulls.


Now we're down to two panels and then we don't need them at all anymore.


Looks like he's staying.
