Maria got two new balls for the donkeys and for Chloe, the pony. She is teaching “touch” and also the balls will hopefully help distract the equines in the winter, when they can’t graze and start chewing on the barn. We have deployed chicken wire and various disgusting odors, but last winter was nasty and bored equines are like bored border collies, they find something to do.

Chloe is a very smart animal, she picks up on training very quickly, this morning she was already touching the ball on command.
