Trust issues

I couldn't treat Banjo's thrush last night because of T.E.A., so Bob and I teamed up tonight with no success. Banjo is stubborn. As soon as I pick up a foot, he stomps it down. A lot of his trouble is that he's not used to people being beside him. I still can't catch him. I need to corner him in the loafing shed to get a halter on him. I have to remember he's been in a pasture with 20-some other horses, all vying for food. He has a bit of a gang member mentality -- tough, ready for a fight, ready to run.

Still, there's the thrush. But you know he's had it for a very long time, so I will just take my time and get at the root of the problem -- getting him to trust me.
