This is where we get our first touch done and a lot of communication back and forth. You all know where this ends by now anyways as we are best friends at the point of this upload, this is how we got there. This is her very first session on her very first day here. We're not wasting time!

This is still the first day with this little baby B.C. Wildie and I'm really determined to fast track my mission to become her best friend. You all know how this ends in 2 days but here is the process on how I got there. After about 2 hours in total, we had something pretty good going on I think.

Here is the third session I did with our new B.C. Wildie on her first day here. We've got to get on with making a good friend as soon as possible so we can get a halter on her and get her coggins test done. Here is another step in the process.

More progress on touching after the livestream in the morning and we continue on that path to get closer and closer for longer.

Here we go, day 3, let's get some touching done so I can convince her how nice it is to be scratched by a human!

Well, slowly but surely it's happening here and I'm making some progress to not freaking her out as much and getting some incidental touches in.

In this video I share a technique that occurred to me to try for the very first time. I've never seen or heard of anybody doing it, but this is now a solid tool in my toolbelt that I will use much sooner in the future.

Today, we scratch and search for problems, ticks, injuries, itchy spots and all kinds of things.

In this video I show how I get started with halter training so I can have a horse not lose their mind with the rope on them or pulling on them.

Here's how I deloused little Mocha as I just couldn't watch her scratch on everything and anything. It's about time I got to this even though it's still only day 4 and I don't have a halter on yet...

Got some great progress today with her for having a rope on her and just a bit of the actual halter!

We're making a bit more progress with the halter training with just a couple of issues here and there. These are solvable, so that's the job today, fix the bits and pieces that we have to put it all together for her.

Lots happened in this session, I finally got the halter on her reliably and then I decided it's a good idea to check out the possible hernia she has going on.

This is a nice time for sure, just a quiet session with a bit of halter training and a lot of brushing.

The vet is coming tomorrow! 2 days earlier than expected so I have to kick into a faster gear to be prepared as best as I can. Today we're working on some basic groundwork on the halter and she hit it out of the park I think! It's not all smooth sailing of course, but she sorted things out well.
