Today I hung out with Doc for about an hour. I brought a cookie bag in with me, and he was very curious about it. It turns out, he likes butterscotch cookies! Hooray!
He is now extremely willing to follow me wherever I go (whether I have cookies or not). I was able to slip the halter on his nose several times. At this point, I figure a little bribery doesn't hurt, so I gave him a cookie each time he put his nose through it. I looped it over his head an gave him a cookie, then asked him to move towards me with a little pressure on the halter. All went well! Tomorrow might be the day we actually tie it and start asking him to follow us... I'll let you know how it goes!
Alicia's horse, Mac, is now living on the outside of the round-pen. Doc really likes Mac, and even does baby chomping noises to him. It is very cute, and Mac is a good daddy!
