Grace had a guest for dinner last night! Zoey had to go pick up Grace's "crumbs" that she dropped while eating. It was all going so well until Grace started trying to get those same crumbs Zoey was getting. That's when Zoey got mad and showed her who the "big dog" was lol I also thought it would be good to start desensitizing Grace to some things. She hasn't been scared of a lot besides the steers but I just want to expose her to more.
So I took a big garbage bag and tore it into long strips. I tied 3 strips on the gate of her pen where she would have to walk through them and then some more strips on the back on her pen. I thought maybe I should video because things could get interesting. But as I was having that thought my phone died so I had to plug it up. Went out and got Grace and led her in and to her pen we went. Let me just tell you she took the fun right out of it. She could have cared less about that stuff. She walked right through it with no hesitation. She then walked around and smelled of the other pieces I had tied up and then came back and stuck her head through the ones hanging from the top of her gate and waited on her dinner. Maybe this whole desensitizing thing will be easier than I expect! Now my question is where is that "crazy OTTB" that everyone always talked about because apparently she isn't in my barn!
