He needs some "groceries", a bit typical after the long haul. So that is our focus. And transitioning to different feed. But I love him already. We got a quiet moment alone when I first saw him, and he came right up to me, head in my chest. Sigh.
Today we will have a little round pen play to make sure we have good boundaries , and he'll get some good turn out time in the BIG pasture - with his hay bag full and water, while I sit nearby and read and write. Tomorrow I plan on a very short, ten minute ride in the big sandy arena, and we have some visitors or "Welcome Committee" coming tomorrow too.
A few details: We had short training session with fly spray. It all went well. And today I'll find out how he feels about a fly mask - the flies on the eyes are terrible right now and SWAT just ain't cutting it.
He is eating up all I put in front of him, and we are on 2 hand fulls of 3Way or Alfalfa along with his "all you can eat" timothy and Alfalfa pellets.
If you click on a photo you can see it BIG.

| You wanna spray what? And where? |

| Look at the crazy style here, Goofy Californians. I won't have to wear that stuff will I? |

| Munching away. Note the towel in the background - my nap spot. |

Cheers.
Handsome guy, he's going to look fit and shiny very soon with all the care he's getting (:
