Progress with the halter and leading
He comes up to see me when I enter the paddock, and stands quietly while I put his halter on and off, so I haven't needed to leave it on him in the paddock after all. I'm really stoked about that, because I don't like leaving halters or other gear on horses if I can help it - there's just too much risk of them getting snagged on something and causing injury.
He's also beginning to learn to lead nicely. In fact, he tends to follow me around the paddock everywhere I go, which is making it difficult to get clear identification photographs for his Kaimanawa registration!
Here's a couple of photos of me (looking really stylish in my oldest muddiest paddock clothes) and Tama (looking cleaner than usual because I've almost finished brushing him).
