According to his paperwork today is Flynn's first birthday, we are glad that you are official now, little pony! Today Jessica's friend Wyatt went with her to see Flynn. Wyatt had no trouble petting him after approaching slowly. He was still a little jumpy, especially at first with two people in his stall, but he didn't take long to relax, sniff them all over and accept treats. They both pet him all the way to his flank, rump, and Jess took hold of his left foot and he lifted it. He was standing on the lead rope and lifted his head while she was holding his foot and stumbled, but was not too scared. He has figured out that they are not going to eat him, rather they have food for him. He became very pushy trying to get treats, so Jess withheld treats unless he works for them. She smacked his muzzle when he bit her sleeve, he reacted just like her other horse, tossing his head but immediately returning. Overall he seems to be enjoying the attention he is getting.
He did have some unknown visitors today, one who tripped and scared Flynn, and one that marched right up to him which sent him flying. He recovered himself and then resumed enjoying his attention.
Jess continued to walk with him with pressure on the lead rope, he is mostly following her while getting used to the pressure.
I will try to get pictures tomorrow. :)
