Flash was a little worried about getting onto the trailer, but after a short time of contemplating the step up and the noisy echo inside, he stepped up and forward into the stall. I praised him lots as I tied him in (his legs were a little shaky, but he stood still and listend to my voice.) I clsoed the doors and we were off to the new barn.
When we arrived, he was curios and ready to cautioulsy get off the trailer. He hopped down (we need to work on backing up off the trailer; but that will be another day) and just stood and took in his new surroundings. He saw a horse in the pasture and a barn and a gravel lot. Then he just sorta stood and waited for my next request.
Since he seemed to be okay with the fences, we went ahead and put Deuce out with him so they could get reacquainted.
Deuce promptly went up to Flash and touched noses with him then sniffed him all over. Flash just sorta stood and looked at him and said nothing. Then Deuce tried to get Flash to run with him by shoving him with his body, Flash obliged for a few steps but Deuce would not let up and Flash politely showed Deuce his heels by kicking out but not connecting to let him know he had enough. Deuce got the message and switched to a prancing head tossing around him method in hopes of getting Flash to get fired up but again, Flash was not impressed. He just stood and stared at Deuce and tried to calmly walk away. This went on for a few minuets and then Deuce finally gave up and decided Flash was not going to be a challenge to him and he would gladly follow him around.
So that was about it. As some point Flash did feel the electric fence, as I heard it zap and he sorta startled and trotted away a few steps, turned around snorted and proceeded to be careful to keep Deuce between himself and the fence.
