Re: RC: Colts and Bridle Path Trimming

[DAldr94141@aol.com]

I too took the slow approach. I mean sssloooooooowww. The first thing I did 
was hang the clippers (I have electric Osters) with them on by my colts feed 
dish until they got hot. It worked. He got used to the noise. Another thing 
that worked, and you are going to laugh, is whenever he backed up, I talked 
to him in baby talk. That's just the way he is. Can't help it. He would walk 
up again and we'd start all over. I did just a little at a time too. Pretty 
soon, I could do his whole body, in a week. He can't be yelled at or 
threatened. He gets too nervous. Just my 2 cents. Deb
