Another update on Peanut

We have now started breaking in Peanut! On Monday, we lunged him two times, gave him a thorough grooming, lunged him again, and Abbi rode him! He was such a good boy, no bucks or anything. We are going to do some more work with him today, so we will see how it goes!
Here's a picture of him- Abbis feet are only about 20 cm off the ground on either side

*Edit*

So yesterday the weather cleared up enough for Abbi to have another ride on Peanut. He's really good with her getting on now. Instead of leading Abbi on him, I put the lunge line on his halter and made him walk in a circle around me while I stood in the middle. He was really good- until I got him to trot anyway. He did a tiny bit of really good trotting at first, went back to a walk, I asked to trot again, and he got grumpy with me and did a little buck thing and kinda slid in the mud... so Abbi came off the side. That was Abbis second fall, she said it didn't hurt at all! :)

Another picture

Yep, I have started yet another painting. This one is of Doc though, and I can't wait to have it finished! I think I might try some acrylic paint with this one though... we will see :) I will post pics once I'm done.

Horses!

Here's a cute picture I took of Peanut the other day! Me and Abbi have been lunging him just about every day, it's funny to watch his short little legs go as he trots and canters :) We also had some one over to trim his hooves last week- Peanut hated it! The lady picked up his foot and he started dancing around rearing and everything. It was very interesting watching, he certainly picked the wrong person to mess with!

Our new projects

Recently we have been building more (Yes, MORE) animal enclosures, with the latest one to be just about completed, is a new quail and guinea pig run.
It isn't massive, but there's plenty of room for the two quail and four guinea pigs that now live in it.

We are also going to make another run a bit bigger then the quail run, joined onto it for a rabbit to live in. I can't wait to have them finished... and another awesome thing is that we still have plenty of wire left over for making hutchs. I plan on building two more... so then we will be a 7 hole rabbitry!

I will post some pictures once the runs and cages are finished :)
