Mojo's march to Pennsylvania

Gracious, he is handsome.
Almost every day we work on a skill to get Mojo ready for his great move to Pennsylvania to be with Holly and Courtney. Sometimes they are things we have already done. Obviously as a 2006, Mojo is used to having his feet done, but that was today's job.
But I do not always have pics to show his new owners to show the special tricks he has. Please ignore the horse poop in the stall--when we got there, Madison had stripped three stalls and they had not been re-bedded yet---so of course, he pooped the minute he got in it. You know how horses are.
I realize none of these pics are particularly good, and he needs to be groomed, and he lives in a hovel, blah blah blah blah.....but the point is to highlight his trick. And it is actually a trick all our horses do because Marvin the Magnificent teaches them. That is to stand there like a good horsey to get your feet done, and not require a handler, or to be tied, or anything at all other than some discipline that he instills in them when they are quite young.

His other trick, taught to him by Marvin, is to move whatever part of his body that Marvin points at--and to sidepass away from him. It cracks me up, because he can get tiny tiny babies to do it. It is particularly satisfying to see Mojo do it too.

Marvin enjoyed Mojo tonight--he always does as he loves a challenge, but Mojo is a whole other deal. He too sees the difference in him, which does my heart proud.

awwww! I am glad he was good for Marvin and I am glad Marvin has approved of the new Mojo.

What a good boy he is. You need to ask Marvin if he will come to my house and show me the tricks he does with the horses.
