Frank has been actively seeking out scratches (and cheeky nibbles) every chance he gets.

Slow and steady wins the race! 🐢

Frankie (the "wild" brumby stallion) compares notes with the resident dressage warmblood on how to take advantage of every mud puddle on the property! 🤦

Frank has started initiating prolonged contact! Up until now he would come over for a quick nudge but yesterday he did this for about ten minutes until I moved away.
Teeny tiny baby steps with this sensitive guy ☺️

A certain pesky thoroughbred made this a lot harder than it needed to be 😂

Cheeky boy!

Cheeky boy!

Some rain would certainly be welcome! But how amazing is the natural camouflage! He blends right in with the dry grass!

Redemption KNP - Frankie having a relaxing snooze, safe in the knowledge that he is forever safe from the aerial shooting that is about to commence in Kosciuszko National Park on Monday. The same however cannot be said for his family....they are all at risk.

Just over one year apart 😊

Not only has his weight and coat changed (this year he traded in his Kosciusko coat for something a little more suited to winter in the tropics), but his demeanor has changed too - he's so chill and happy!

Admittedly, he does still enjoy his personal space😂

It's shedding season!
Frankie sheds his hooves every few months and as you can see, he only has one hoof left to go.
I appreciate the assistance Frank 😊

When we were given the opportunity to add this beautiful boy to our team, we were grateful that we could secure his safety and that he would not end up in the knackery or dead on the ground by sniper's bullet.
Without Clearview Brumby Rescue Qld this would not have happened.
What has made this such a special experience is having the wonderful support of The Memory Keeper's Pocket - Photography by Karen Ferguson who has gone out of her way to find photos of Remption KNP " Frankie" prior to being trapped and popped them into a book for us.
To see him free in the wild is heart-warming. As much as we would love to think that he could have stayed free this was not the case for him. To know that he is safe forever now is reassuring.

Frankie believes this is the optimal method of hand feeding - putting the hand in his mouth kind of like a spoon.. I'm sure he'll work it out eventually..

A curious Frank.

Today, after a lengthy spell, Frankie was brought back into the yards for some handling. As he is naturally very reactive, we have been taking him very slowly and building his trust.

Someone’s developing their personality

Besties!
Besties!

Frankie the Wild Brumby Stallion is so gentle with the annoyingly cheeky weanling colt. I think they are going to be besties! 😍

A little bit from today’s session: Over the past few days I’ve been spending a few minutes, multiple times a day working with Frankie so he understands that touch is okay. By removing the whip and stepping back when he reaches out and makes contact he learns that touch can be a safe thing for him. Initially I started rewarding him with his space the moment he touched the whip, then gradually I became slower in moving it away. As you can see, he is only comfortable with the whip near his face, not his body, but he’s very careful in his escape! After a minute he relaxed again and even started snoozing! (Unfortunately I didn’t get this on tape).

I cannot say enough good things about Frankie’s temperament! Here he is being as cool as a cucumber while new fence posts are being put in. He is currently in a yard next to my weanling colt and he sets the perfect example. He is still not comfortable with anyone too close to him but he has started walking up to me when he sees me. Baby steps!

Here’s Frankie arriving on Sunday, May 29. Other than the one instance when he was put in a cattle crush to be branded, microchipped, and checked over by a vet, he has had no physical contact with a human. As you can see, he is cautious but sensible. I’m so impressed with how he handled it all - I can’t wait to start working with this young stallion!
