Goose update 9/12/12

Goose got his teeth done over the weekend! He had 1" wolf teeth! Omg! Anyhow, he is eating great and growing like a weed! He has filled out a bunch. He really handles nice on the ground and is very smart. I can't wait to haul him around and show him off! Oh and the other boys have stopped chasing him!
He is currently eating 3 pounds of safe and sound twice a day, turned out with a round bale and getting a flake of alfalfa twice a day.

Goose 9/6/12

He is doing great! Always comes to the fence for a quick pat on the neck! Eating good and becoming buddies with Gabe. Lynx stays up front so that Goose can build his confidence! All is well!

Goose

Day 1- well we finally made it to Navasota to pick up "Perks on the Fly" aka Goose! He is a yearling now, well 17 month old! And he is huge! I swear he is at least 15hh at the hip! His hip is taller than my panels! Any way, it was a very frustrating load for us. He wanted to load in the stock trailer but he just couldn't and naturally as our patience wore thin so did his :-( so we took a break and finally Dawn, who has tons of patience, came to load him! We ran a butt rope, she got in the trailer armed with a lead rope, carrots, feed, and a dressage whip. Another two hours ass and Goose loaded one foot at a time! He hauled great and is now chillin in his paddock! The best part of the day is that he really spoke to me and allowed me to bond with him. Lots oh kisses, lots of belly rubs....I hate that Dee doesn't get to buy him but I am thrilled to call him MINE! Tomorrow he shall spend the morning tied and I get to call and deal with AQHA. Fun fun!
