Rocky didn’t need too much coaxing to get into his stall today. He listens to locate Maria and then sniffs to figure out where the grain is. He is hesitant about the step up, which he can’t see. So he presses his hooves against the step to figure it out and then steps up into the stall. The entryway is concrete, but the stall is lined with hay. He gets to go in and out if and when he chooses.
