Today was the most beautiful sunny and settled day we've had in months. We took all three-and-a-bit horses (Honey is round as a barrel and definitely feeling pregnant!) on a walk down the driveway to stand in the shed for a groom.
Tama is leading so nicely now and learning how to overcome his own 'roadblocks' like narrow gateways and changes in footing. I had to keep reminding myself to watch his body language and give him breaks - it's easy to forget he's not just like the other horses.
He stood quietly eating his hay while I groomed him (almost) all over, and picked up all his feet.
He'll probably be a far better kids pony than Hokey Pokey will, he's just so stoic and unconcerned about everything. Several times today Hokey Pokey got bored and kicked up a fuss about nothing in particular, acting all startled, and Tama didn't even bother to raise his head from the hay pile.
