We’re so excited to share Blue’s progress! His owner, Kerry is allowing us to share their continued journey! This is after only 6 weeks working with Jasmine!
So excited to see how Blue is picking up his hind feet for Jasmine!
Today was a Blue day! I am just so impressed on how far Jasmine has gotten with Blue in less than a week! He is picking up his front hooves, learning that the lunge line will not hurt him, getting his fly mask off and on (going on is a little scary for him), getting a halter on and getting him to pick up his hind legs! He’s enjoying his face being rubbed! All these things are so important to setting a foundation for him and desensitizing him to the things that scare him.
I’m attaching a video where you can see how Jasmine uses the rope to gently get it over his head in preparation for his halter. She does not ‘rope’ him, but has worked on rubbing it over his body so he becomes used to it. Eventually, the rope will no longer be needed. Remember, Blue has been abused and neglected and he’s getting a new start!
Best of all, he let me rub his head and his neck, leaning into me and allowing me to give him a kiss! ♥️
Blue has made huge progress in such a short time! He flinches less when being haltered, picks up his front hooves and definitely loves scratches!
I’m looking forward to seeing him tomorrow! ♥️
We knew Blue had an abscess prior to the farrier coming out, but treating it was impossible. So Jasmine spent time getting him used to putting his hoof into a bucket of water. Today they will start using a solution to help heal the abscess.
Blue also learned that fly spray isn’t so scary after all and he did very well!
Blue left yesterday for Odell Horse Training and is settling in nicely! Jasmine even got his fly mask on!
If you recall, Blue was one of three who came from an abuse/neglect case. It seemed obvious that lead lines or ropes were part of his abuse so Jasmine spent time desensitizing him and lunging him in the arena before he left.
I’ll be keeping you updated on his progress! More pictures in the comments.
I know he is going to make someone an amazing partner! ♥️
