What a little sweetheart! Camdin has been so curious and inquisitive that it has been easy to play with her. Lots of desensitising, lots of rubs and scratches, and encouraging her natural "joy of life" ... she has the most appealing nature and wants to know what everything is about, what it tastes like, smells like, etc.
She has learnt how to play with a ball when I move it away from her (she has to follow!!), and also how to play with Ella, one of my dogs. There has been much laughter on my part watching Maggie take part as well, sometimes putting herself between Camdin and Ella, but sometimes not, and seeing her happy to trot, canter and change direction at a moments notice!
Camdin now wears a little halter in the paddock, though I do want to get her and Maggie used standing to have it put on so that they can go "naked"!!!! She is really very good when I hold her - a little resistant then realises she can't get away so 
stands until I'm done! She allows me to pick up all 4 feet too now, because she knows she gets scratches on her itchy spots afterwards! I'm hoping she never runs out of those itchy spots!!! (If only I could find one on Maggie!)

(If only I could find one on Maggie!)In the last week she has started eating some of Maggies hard feed too, so thats great. I give all my horses a small portion each day to give them their minerals, and its a routine they know. It means I can include any medications etc and as far as they are concerned its just another day! So much easier!!!
Now, it's rest time!
