| Boone |
I finally moved Boone and Khyber out to the stables today. They have been at the ZERF since they arrived in November. Debbie did enough ground work with them in that time to make it possible to start the next phase of their training. We had some trouble getting them in the trailer, but Debbie finally enticed them in with a flake of alfalfa. Khyber went after the alfalfa in a few minutes, but Boone had to be encouraged with a tap of the whip.
The rest of the herd was still out to pasture, so moving them into their new pens was uneventful. By the afternoon, they had accustomed themselves to their surroundings enough so that I could begin their first session of learning the Army routine. Neither of them is very good at lifting their feet, so we concentrated on that and, with a little coaxing, had a normal grooming session. Oddly enough, they are no worse than Cal, whom I groomed at the post solo today.

| Khyber |
Boone and Khyber were fascinated by all the horses being brought in. They were curious about everything and everybody. I think they will fit in well. I'm looking forward to working with them and teaching them all the things an Army horse needs to do.
