Today was a really good day for Lucy. We got her and her sister home, and she took to the pen nicely. She was reasonably calm when we got her unloaded, the complete opposite of Aztec's Warrior. She stayed connected at the hip to Aztec for most of the day, until I decided to try to separate them in order to work with them. Lucy, unlike her sister, took well to me touching her. I started out using my orange lunge stick as an extension of my arm, and then I slowly moved on to rubbing her with my hand. She was completely cool with me after several hours of being out with her.
I love how tall Lucy is! She's huge. Every bit as big as Molly or Sahara (two of my QH mares). Once she has a bath and gets the rest of her fuzz off, she's going to be stunning.
She's a bit more stand-offish than Aztec is, a lot less needy. That's why I'm thinking that she is going to actually have a mind of her own once she figures out that I'm not going to eat her or anything to that extreme. I'm really looking forward to clicker training her, though. She seems very intelligent, so I think (hope) that she will pick it up fairly quickly. My goal for the next week is to have her halter broke and brushing. We shall see. (:
Always,
