Monday 11th February

Tonight I decided to start playing with holding Blossom’s tongue. I started with playing friendly all over until she was relaxed. Then I asked her to take the carrot stick in her mouth, she really moved her mouth about trying to find a release from it. But all the time she still appeared to be confident, her ears foreward, eyes blinking and her head was down. I must have spent a good half hour playing with the carrot stick in her mouth, she soon worked out that if she relaxed I would take it out her mouth – what a clever pony. Nearer the end I was able to put the stick in her mouth and she would relax within seconds. So I thought this would be a good place to stop and I will work on holding her tongue with my hand another night, I didn’t want to ask to much from her tonight.
