Getting the scritches on!

06/08/2024

Every time I come out......not the bell part, the walking up to see me. Even when he is at the furthest part of his paddock, he comes to say hi. Always hoping for a treat ...which he gets most times :) The bell is a new trick he is learning.

Well, I said I was gonna do it. Poor Thistle stepping on and ripping out part of his braided tail with his front feet (while getting off the trailer) finally made me do it. I cut that tail. A little too short. However, Thistle appreciates being able to swish it! Right away, after cutting it off, he lifted to pass gas, turned to look at his tail as he slowly moved it side to side. It was too heavy to do more than lift before cutting it off. I know, if I was aggressive at keeping it up, his tail would get even longer than the 5 and a half feet plus it was (longer than I am tall!). However, he will always be trimmed up now, though not as short as now, it just looks silly.

Just some shots from our walks along the road. He does great. His only "boo" comes from the first or last step to the bridge. It makes a noise that bugs him. Gotta love my Thistle though. His version of a spook is dancing away from the "boo" and stopping before I have to really respond. Then we try again with him trusting me to keep him safe.

That tail needs brushing. When I do this time, will take pictures, then cut it high enough it will not need braids and tie up to stay off the ground.

Does not look fun. Thistles teeth were good, just some typical sharp edges starting. No chips or breaks. Always worried about those since he eats so fast.

Thistle had an appointment to get his teeth floated. The vet is along a busy set of train tracks, so loud trains are part of the fun. He did not care of course.

This is why his hair is tied up. He would be walking on it if not. Thistle was well over due for a brushing out. Only did sections this time. So no glorious hair pics :( But did measure and his manes max length is now 4.5 feet. I think Thistle must appriciate being able to see again! His tail will be done later this week.

Thistle was having a royal fit over Antoni taking Zaheera (everyone's favorite mare) for a walk out of sight. Mind, he can not see her most of the time anyway, but at least he knows we're she is at. This went one for 10 or more minutes. Gotta love that tail swoosh.

A little Easter fun.

Thistle is a quick learner. He really seem to enjoy these. These lovely side passes are after a pretty short set of lessons before this. I plan on spending quite a bit of time with him over the summer. He is more than ready for some serious training.

The fun of a fresh horse after a long winter. Thistle loves his dramatic turns!

So after about three hours of patiently getting his tail done, Thistle got some free time in the green field. He got a little too excited and slipped. A perfectly soft landing :)

Thistles name could have been Hover easy. He inhales his food faster than any horse I have met. Even with the hay net, he is done an hour before Conan.
