Playing fetch with a pony

Yesterday I began working with Chincoteague Minnow on some new tricks for his performance in Chincoteague this year. Some of the new tricks will be a part of his “skit” that I am developing – I’m going to keep the skit a secret for now so that when its all complete it will be a big surprise.

I started teaching Minnow how to drink out of a bottle, eventually he will be able to do it on his own without assistance from me, not bad for a days worth of work.

And just for fun I also played fetch with Minnow while I rode him bareback and bridle-less. He already knew how to play fetch, but I don’t think I’ve ever played with him while I rode him. He really didn’t require much training for this trick, he just figured out I was on his back instead of on the ground and was able to hand me the toy.
