Pooka's First Day
We think Pooka is a little homesick.
He's with the big horses now, but
they won't buddy up and they keep him
by himself. Amanda came out to spend
some time with him and I think he enjoyed
the attention.
 
Amanda felt the rain was making Pooka feel bad, so we put on a rainsheet. It's a little big for him, but he didn't mind.
 
I talked Amanda through the lunging basics. Pooka's good off of voice and she could get him to walk, trot and halt after a little practice.
Trotting one direction.
 
And the other.
I'm wondering if we can just take in the blanket a little to fit him better. The neck part works fine, it just all hangs too low.
 
Pooka was nice and never tried to stop and eat the grass. 
Pooka's not too sure about this new life, yet.
