Lucky Star is\u00a0 willing.<\/p>\n
We practiced the mounting block game where the horse has to stand perfectly still besides the mounting block.\u00a0 They like to stand with their nose pointed at you instead of their back being available.\u00a0 It takes a little while for them to realize what your goal is.\u00a0 When ever the horse comes to the mounting block in the correct manner, they get a lot of rubbing and petting.<\/p>\n
Pine Dell Farm\u00a0has\u00a0\u00a0got\u00a0a mounting block for a handicapped individual and then another riser on top of the mounting block.\u00a0 I stood up so high in the air that my nose was wanting to bleed.\u00a0 I would have to leap down to get on Lucky.\u00a0 My feet\u00a0were \u00a0probably right where his withers are.\u00a0 In fact, I have to be careful about getting dizzy and falling off.\u00a0 I bet Lucky has never seen such a tall person.<\/p>\n
Lucky had to come around one of those orange barrels with the helium\u00a0balloon sticking up.\u00a0 He had to go between the orange balloon barrel and the blue barrels to get to come into the mounting block.\u00a0 I was so high up that I was able to lift the lead rope over the balloon,.\u00a0 It was a tight squeeze and the rope occasionally caught the balloon and made it move.<\/p>\n
That took several tries.\u00a0 He was able to get around the balloon barrel but it was\u00a0tense after that for him to come and stand perfectly still.\u00a0 He did it!<\/p>\n
He\u2019s such a good boy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
