Ishmael and Walt
As Ishmael the Florida Cracker horse becomes a little comfortable with the routine, I introduce something different that he finds scary. It has been a slow process getting him to
trust me. Today, the morning feeding routine changed for him. We took a hike through Jo's meadow and up to the top of Meyrs' Peak so he could be fed by the God of Molten Steel. It took him a long time to relax enough to get to the bottom of the bucket, but he figured it out. Poor guy, the things that must have been done to him! He is such a gentle horse. Once he sheds this baggage about two leggers, he is going to be a great companion.
