Yesterday I began working with Chincoteague Minnow on some new tricks for his performance in Chincoteague this year. Some of the new tricks will be a part of his “skit” that I am developing – I’m going to keep the skit a secret for now so that when its all complete it will be a big surprise.<\/p>\n

I started teaching Minnow how to drink out of a bottle, eventually he will be able to do it on his own without assistance from me, not bad for a days worth of work. <\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>And just for fun I also played fetch with Minnow while I rode him bareback and bridle-less. He already knew how to play fetch, but I don’t think I’ve ever played with him while I rode him. He really didn’t require much training for this trick, he just figured out I was on his back instead of on the ground and was able to hand me the toy.<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YIfO6ZOeEJQ?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>-KD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I began working with Chincoteague Minnow on some new tricks for his performance in Chincoteague this year.
