So I have been food training the cows. Unintentionally at first with Sophie but now with Rosie and Nina it's intentional to keep them super tame. Heidi and Sophie have been getting down their routine quite spectacularly. Good thing as Sophie's only got a couple more days until her date with Flemingsburg. So far I think she'll get on that trailer very nicely.
Though it may be a little sad for Heidi to lose her 'buddy'. Well as buddy as they can be.
She'll get these little girls for companionship afterwards. Nina the black angus and Rosie the Jersey.
The main reason that Heidi has no equine companions as Stormy is now at big girl school. I moved her over to Tamarack on the 3rd. She's learning to be in a herd, and learning how to socialize with other horses. I am exposing her to as much stimulus as possible. As it gets warmer I'll start taking her for walks around the property like down to the creek so she can see all sorts of wildlife. Though with as butt high as she is, I will wait until fall to start her under saddle- unless Amanda or Dora come forward and are interested in her as an event/dressage horse. Otherwise she'll be a fancy trail horse for me.
