Target Games with Pedro

There’s something timeless about Target games with this old fellow—Pedro may be retired from lessons, but that doesn’t mean his job is done. We still love engaging his brain, and it’s clear he loves it too—especially when Dolina joins in! 😊

Watching him perk up when the target stick comes out is a joy. His eyes light up, his ears come forward, and he shifts into “game mode” with the enthusiasm of a much younger horse. These quiet, focused moments remind us that even our elder equines benefit so much from enrichment and attention.

He’s not just participating—he’s teaching us too: patience, communication, and how rewarding it is to meet a horse where they are in life, physically and emotionally. Target games are simple, but the connection they foster is anything but.
