When Milton was finished with work, his driver would say, “Find your header.” This means come to me, get a cookie, and unhitch.
This past spring was wet. The ground before the run-in shed got chopped up, as happens with high-traffic areas. To start our daily walk, we had to get all four sets of feet through the mud. Instead of trying to lead them through the mess, we let them pick their own way. I would stand out in the pasture, other barn minion would send them out with the command “Find your header.”
The ground eventually dried up.
At one point, we tried leading them from the beginning. Normal procedure, right? Put a leadrope on to a horse. Go for a walk. Instead, both horses stopped at the header spot and said, I get a cookie here. We said, Today we are just walking.
You can see it coming right?
We eventually had to give them each a treat. They knew they were due a cookie and would not let us forget it.
Now we start each walk with finding your header.
