this morning I stuck to more review work because I was the only one home and I try to reframe from doing anything to crazy when there is no one there to spot me and it is also a safety measure since we must keep in mind that Reece had never been touched willingly before about a week ago. Even though there is really not much to report on the gentling process, when I first went down to feed this morning Reece and Spud were both lying down all sleepy. So I walked in and started mucking out the paddock minding my distance since sometimes when a horse gets up they take off at first especially if they are startled. After a few min. I approached her and started scratching her neck and back, she really liked it and stretched out with her neck to the point that she almost fell over while lying down (weird right, how dose that work?). Finally I went and grabbed a few leafs of hay and that got her to her feet right away. I guess lying down is hard work, she ate like she had just ran a marathon. :)
