I had to make him go out on a circle , so i lightly rested the whip on his rear end , oh my !!! you would have thought he had been bitten by a snake , he shot off side ways and i just managed to keep hold of him , after half an hour he just got it !!! but was running around me so fast in small circles he got as dizzy as i did , so no control yet but he gets it , that is a far as we have got to date , i am loving doing this , i hope you all have a great time sharing it with me , check the blog in a day or so and we will have done more , it would be great if you blog back .

Day one-Educating Jo

The plan was to get him to lunge , lunge line on and lunging whip in hand , i tried to push him out to start a circle – no chance , me not really knowing what i was doing and him having no clue , i have spent months getting him to come to me , now i am chasing him away !! after 15 mins in the heat i was red in the face and he was so confused he rooted all four feet to the sopt and refused to move , i called for mum to help , even she couldnt move him

sinatra day five

Not Mr Wobbles now exept after a full tummy of milk , learnt to show off his stride in true Gypsy horse style , gets very eager when we go to see him , dashes back and forth in a canter whilst bucking , just waiting for those naughty foal hooves to come our way , oh boy !!! he will have a shock when he does , if within seconds i can return the favour with a loud verbal telling of i will , some folas wont try it again , but given he is a little boy i am sure as with most males he will try it again.
I am at work for the next two days so he has time to plan how to play games with the human , he is so funny now i am sure we will get great fun pictures , i could proberbly u -tube it as foals behaving bad , well time will tell , Gypsy Cobs are known for their kind nature , tell this to a young colt !! We /i hope he will become a good examlpe of the type of horse we offer on Gypsy MVP , well grounded and a family friend , a horse we can tell you all about .

This boy is due to fly out soon with his mother , even though he is a new baby we all love him , even people that walk their dogs passed the land know him , this is going to be a very hard one to wave goodbye to .

back to tell you more in a days time as i have to work in a busy ER room , my camera is going to be clicking like mad , this is proper education day !! hope you all like this , there are so many Gypsy Vanners , Gypsy horses , or Gypsy cobs , thought it would be fun to share , i am not working friday my time , wooooo here comes the scarey halter ,i just know he will throw himself over backwards , they all do , all you can do is be kind , once they know what pressure means they come around , Ha !!!! not sure he will be with me on this one !! lets see how it goes , look for photos friday .
