So... ...why not doing things a little differently and let the herd do my job!
On saturday I started to put up some "scarry" stuff in the paddock (I only put the stuff in as long as I'm there and take it out again before I leave). The first thing was a "Flattervorhang" made out of red and white barrier tape. Crispin was intrigued the rest of the herd could't care less. Perfect situation!
Crispin watched the other horses for while (they were walking through the tape or were ripping little pieces of tape off) and after they were done he inspected the tape himself, trying out everything he'd seen. Very cute! (Of course he was rewarded with cookies for that!)
A few days latter I added the tarp (well, actually it's a trash bag). I knotted it to the Flattervorhang, no big deal!
Then I put in on the ground. It was scarry at first...
...but then he went for the kill...
...and shredded the thing into pieces!
The next step was steping on the tarp. He needed a bit of encouragement at first.
Good Boy!
Destruction!
