Working on the donkey britchen tug straps!
Did quite a few things this weekend! I tacked up both donks in their pack saddles & attempted to put them in a string. I figured since Daisy couldn't handle following Rocky, I'd put her in front. Didn't work, she wanted to kick the crap outta him ( just like I thought she would), so there's gonna need to be some training there!
Rocky wearing his pack saddle, complete with go pro camera!
I thought it would be really cool to put the gopro on the pack saddle, since Rocky was supposed to be at the back I put it on his saddle. I only got a short clip since Daisy was having a meltdown. Rocky was being sweet as usual, trying to fall into 'line' LOL, he knows what he's supposed to do, Daisy doesn't. Looks like i need to spend a whole weekend at the Freeman's so Daisy can learn about this pack string stuff!
As you can see, Daisy is THRILLED about wearing a pack saddle! I need a shorter cinch!
Then later the same day I decided to do a 'dry' run of loading both donks. Rocky went right in, no hesitation, we tied him & my BF fed him his pellets while I got daisy ready, by this time she has tried to already load up while still tied to the side of the trailer! I untied her and she hopped right in! Tied her in the front, gave her some pellets. We shut the doors and waited LOL, as soon as they ran outta pellets they both started being jerks towards each other. Which is expected I call them 'food-baccas', they both fight over food, and here I just stuck them in tight quarters with food. YUP. lol. so they were in there 'honking' pushing & shoving, trying to steal each others food.
At one point Rocky got his head past the divder and had Daisy shoved against the wall, I had my BF bring his head back over to his side. I had to tell them to knock it off for a bit, lol that trailer was really rocking! they settled down, got praised, then let out. I unloaded Daisy first, she was supposed to BACK out, did she?? NO!!
She crammed her butt against the wall, shoving rocky into his wall, turned herself all the way around and came out front first!! I was a little shocked!
