hooves

So Gwene does not like to give her feet so I asked Brother Twitchell for advice. He said to play with her feet, touch them all over including her legs (the friendly game) before asking her to give them. Then as soon as she gives in a little bit release the pressure. Then ask for more, make sure she relaxes before giving her back her foot. She has made such good progress. With her front left foot she gives it just by touching her fetlock. I have got lazy and for a while did not play with her feet. It has made a difference, as she is not as good as she was with her feet. I need to play with feet at least once everytime i work with her.
