Yesterday I set up a small area of 'the track' that the vet suggested ready for Chico to start his limited turnout this week. The official day to start is Wednesday, when he will be allowed a full hour out without the constraint of me on the end of the leadrope.
However I decided that I wanted to introduce him slowly, so today after 20 minutes in hand I lead him to the track.
To begin with i dont think he realised he was loose, he milled about quietly picking at weeds and grass, a little on edge but nothing more than normal spooky Chico.
We managed 20 minutes before the howling winds got him on his toes and I decided to bring him back in.
Didnt go too badly at all!
