So I haven't been able to do a training session for over 2 weeks now cause cant put pressure on my knees, and then it was too much effort bending down to do floor tricks!

But finally did a little session tonight, got my little bowling ball kit out that i have had for MONTHS haha

I just got him to fetch the bowling ball, and then put my hand at the slide, after 2 times i didnt need to put my hand there anymore, and just pointed...

and then i just had to say- bowling! And he would fetch the ball and put it down the slide into the pins Which is actually an upgraded version to the bowling trick that does the- 20 tricks in 2 minutes.. cause she only hits her nose so the ball goes down the slide, but fargo actually fetches it first hahaha

Might enter him in some bowling tournaments now :09:

And i do have a video of him collecting, which he is learning, just putting 3 beads in a bucket, he does do it, just not super quickly.. But will upload the video soon, it will just take forever!

and just some cute photos

Hahaha that is hilarious! He's such a gorgeous boy! You must be so proud

 

[tab_xo]

Hahaha I am very proud, he is such a brilliant boy!

It always amazes me how he learns different signals and voice commands, like how he knows that 'bowling' means to put the ball down the slide, and 'fetch' means to bring it to my hand!

So clever

Good for Fargo

Loved the vid's BUT love the pic of Fargo being happy

Thanks for sharing

Now Fargo needs to work on the 7-10 split.

That is just AWESOME, Tab!! He bowls MUCH better than I do. Perhaps he could teach me. OR perhaps I'd bowl better if someone gave me treats?

 

[Birdman666]

I had a jenday conure that once bowled a perfect game!

 

[tab_xo]

Hahahaha thank you all!

I did have the full set of pins, but of course Fargo got a hold of them and tossed them everywhere, so i think a few got sucked up the vacuum cleaner, so will just have to make do with the 5 we have

HAHA 'Good girl Wendy!!! Whos a good girl!! ' hahahaa

That is so cute! So smart he gets an A+

Good job with Fargo. I am ashamed to admit he is a better bowler then I am ha ha.

 

[faeryphoebe1]

Gotta say the same thing here; he bowls much better than I do. Fargo's such a smart cookie and as always, he's absolutely adorable!

 

[tab_xo]

Hahahahha well it looks like Fargo is better than most people on the forum! :09:

Have to teach him to throw it instead of using the little help slide

Sounds like you had a fall? The knees and bending down comment. Did you crash on your horse?

Not my horse!!!! My horse is amazing, he couldn't put a hoof wrong hehe but my horse is broken and can never be ridden

Looking to buy another horse, and i went to try this 'incredible eventer'... and the horse was insane... Was in pretty bad condition, but hopped on anyway, bolted, bucked, then slammed on its breaks and ripped its head down..

I havent fallen off a horse for about 10 years.. Luckily it wasn't a very tall horse, but landed on my knees, and tore ligaments and nerves and such, all the swelling pushed my knee cap out of place

I can bend now, just still cant put pressure, so we just stick to floor training now hahaha

 

[Chesphoto]

Sorry to read about your fall Tab. Hope your knee heals real soon.

On the positive side, this will give more time to teach new tricks to Fargo and take more videos & photos.

Very very impressive!!!
