Izzy Being Handwalked

2/1/2015

I have plenty of other stuff to talk about, but I realized I haven't shown much of Izzy's body apart from his leg. While we were hand walking the other day, I shot a minute of video proving that he is actually sound despite having such an ugly wound.

It's a fairly crappy video, but enjoy ...

So lovely to see how your relationship together is growing, even if the circumstances suck!

Psst! He looks goooood in purple! ;)

He's a really sweet horse who wants to interact with anyone - other horses, people, dogs. He is very trusting, which I love. My Arabs always bond so completely with me that it sometimes makes it difficult for them to be handled in stressful situations. Izzy is doing great with KG handling him.

He does like me already though. He whinnies when I pull up to the barn and he already does that cute little thing where he rests his muzzle in my shoulder or gently touches me as we walk. I don't mind that kind of contact, it's not crowding. :0)

Thanks. I am not sure he enjoys it yet, but I am trying to make things fun and relaxing. :0)
