I locked Banjo in the yard earlier this morning, since he was in there getting a drink. I just got back and he is the most weirdest horse ever, and totally confusing me!!!!
I checked him all over and he was fine. I tried to lead him forward, we went a couple of steps and he stopped, so i back him by the nose (so far that's the only good thing i've taught him). He went backwards fine, then i tried forwards again, same thing, so back we went again. It took him a couple of goes before he realized it was easier to go forwards the first time. We walked around the yard for 5 minutes or so, then i opened the gate. 5 step past the gate and he stopped! I don't get it, one minute he's fine, the next he won't move!! He is such as a pain! Backing up didn't work, we just ended up closer to the yard. So a tried a little bribery, that worked. We happily walked all the way down the lane way to his paddock. Now i'm thinking i should of went back into the yard instead of using treats, i'll have to remember that next time.
As i walking back to the shed i realized, maybe he's depressed or something, because this not walking thing has only started since he moved paddocks. And it only happens when he walks away from his old paddock. HAHA, that couldn't be true, could it??
