New Horse New Name

We have finally decided on a stable name for Bold Hawk, his stable name is now Tipper, we took a long time trying out different names for him we tried such names as Roo, Wesker, and Ozzie, but in the end we came up with Tipper, he seems to take more notice of Tipper then the other names, so it has stuck.

Anyway now on to how Tipper is doing. We are still working on his feet, it’s taking a long time but I am just going to try and get him to pick his fore legs up twice a day. I am not trying to pick his feet out unless they have a stone or something like that in them, I just want him to get used to me picking his feet up, then I will start picking them out.

See here, this is a photo of Tipper’s withers, he used to have a bald strip there, but as you can see the fur has mostly grown back, it is quite hard to even see where the mark used to be, we haven’t even used any products on him yet just a healthy diet. Thanks for the tip Abby, check out Abby’s Blog, My spotty pony. I will be trying out my other followers suggestions on the marks that won’t grow back with healthy eating. Anyway that is about all for now.

Thanks for the comments on my last post.

Sherri, yep I nearly always have no idea what the cats are doing and asking, dogs not so bad but our newest dog is always asking for something and is not very clear about what he wants, but I think horses are probably the easiest to tell what they want.

Abby, yes it is a very funny face and that naughty older horse is Tipper he is a bit bossy with Pip, and just today he has been telling off Murphy too, so he seems to be working his way up in the herd. I do wonder if Pip will go up in the pecking order. That is sweet of Spotty I think he was probably being affectionate or had an itch, but like you said they have so many ways of telling us what they want.
