Rabbit Season!
Duck Season!
Mud Season!
As anyone with a pasture knows, high traffic areas are a constant battle against becoming mud pits. One that we are losing at the moment. We decided to gather the horses on the far side of the abyss. Better to pick feet *after* they walk thru the mud.
Picture us standing out in the dry(ish) section, waving cookies.
Picture horses standing inside the run-in area, staring at us, thinking, ‘What you doing over there. Starting cookies are served here.’
Previously, we fed cookies, sent them to walk thru the mud on their own, then fed second cookies. They knew cookies occurred in this spot, just not initial cookies.
Surprisingly, Rodney was the first to come forward. I would have bet on Milton, since cookies were involved.
It only took them a few days to get with the new program. Good boys.
In other news. Yes, it’s a cookiefest around here. I believe in cookies as a communication tool. Someone else believes in an ongoing shower of cookies. I am gradually being worn down. [Wishing You A Cookie Christmas Eve, Or A Tasty Tuesday]

No matter the species, cookies are good.
Yup. The cookie (carrot) method of training seldom fails. Joan
