Maverik or "Two Foot"

Here is a copy of the e-mail sent to me by Mav's (Or Two Foot's) new owner.

Hi Jaci,

We have renamed him Two Foot because of his two white socks. We are waiting to see how his personality develops to really name him. He ha settled in nicely. I continue to work his ground manners and body movement. We are working on lateral flexing and walking behind my big horse, being ponied out for short adventures. He got a bath over the weekend due to the heat and he loved the water. He gets turned out to a small pasture while I work my other horse and likes to play catch me if you can. Then he gets tired and comes in to be brushed. He has turned into a big love bug. He is shedding out more and more and I think he will come back in very dark instead of a bay. I am exposing him to a variety of things to make him a very confindent horse and not be spooky later.We have gone thru a small creek, over bridges, moved him up along the fence line to open gates with my big horse and he is very comfortable in doing what I ask of him. I think he sees my big horse doing things and it reassures him that it is ok to do them as well. We are taking a equine reflexology class later in the month to learn about pressure points and relaxation on the horses, so he will get release from tense muscles once he does start getting worked when he is older. (This is a benefit to all the horses but since he is a baby I want to put him in the clinic atmosphere to get used to it. I do alot of clinics) He is very curious and loves getting loved on. He has a cat for a buddy that comes everyday to see him. And a big golden retriever that is his buddy as well. I am pleased with him and think he will turn out to be a nice mount once he is grown. I will send some pictures soon as everyone is bugging me about them. I just get out there working with him and the others and forget to take pictures. Take care and keep in touch. I promise to get some pics out soon.Thanks.
