Oh boy am I slacking on my part of keeping up with letting the world know about these wonderful young horses that I get to work with. Kidd has been here a month already and just now I am getting to write about him. I am still getting up to speed on the new computer, which means that transferring pictures from my phone is not happening. And taking pictures on the real camera isn't happening either. Never there when you need it. Anyway, no pictures yet, so I will do my best to paint a nice picture in words.
Kidd is pure kid. He is silly and wants to play and wants his dinner now, and why are you taking so long, and where have you been and why won't anyone play with me. Luckily for Kidd, I brought Chaco home. Chaco wanted to hang with the girls, but Larz said no, so Chaco is hanging with Kidd, much to Kidd's enjoyment. Chaco will actually play with him, and not just the play to get Kidd out of your face kind of play, really play and enjoy it. You know the who can score a bite on the nose or cheek kind of play. I almost bought Kidd a jolly ball the other day, I still may. He picks up all the buckets in the field and throws them about. I looked out the other day and the two youngsters were playing in the kiddy pools I have out in the field as feed tubs. They were both in the pools, pawing and making a racket, then as they stepped back the pools flop up in the air popping them on the nose, making for more fun and more need to stomp on them. They survived that attack (the pools), now they are full of water from the storms!
Kidd is predominately an extrovert. Mostly he keeps his wits about him and is Left brained, however, he can easily switch when he is unsure, which happens a little too easily right now. I need to be very careful that our communication stays pure as he can very easily switch to assumptions. I hate to tell the world this, but these horses teach me everyday!. I will take our #2 Principle (Make or teach no assumptions) very seriously right now. He is such a sponge that he can just as easily learn the wrong thing as the right. So slow and right here will certainly beat fast and wrong.
