Smarty pants

Today was Indy's first proper tying and brushing.

Neither one phased him a bit.

In fact, three seconds after I tied him up for the first time (with a very safe quick-release knot, of course) he had snatched the end of the rope and elegantly untied himself. When I glanced around, he looked rather pleased. Sucker is smart.

As for the brush.. He tried to eat the bristles, but besides that, enjoyed a full-body groom. I still haven't waltzed directly behind him and poked him in the butt, but I can reach all the way around to brush his rear and slide around to the other side without issue. Legs are good too, though I've worked more with the front than the back.

He's the first horse I've seriously considered buying a Jolly Ball for. He wants to chew and play and sniff and lick things constantly.

I think he was someone's pet. Hah. Half-kidding.
