She Likes Carrots!

I've been putting chunks of carrots in Capri's hay, hoping that she would develop a taste for them.  At first she avoided them, but eventually she began to nibble on them.  Today she ate four large pieces that I left on her afternoon flake.  This pleased me, so I offered her pieces from my hand.  Apparently that pleased her, because she gobbled up a whole bunch and asked for more!  I played with her halter and rope while she munched on her carrots, and she looked very happy and relaxed.  Later, she let me pet her muzzle for several seconds, with the only reward being the petting itself and sweet talk from me.  We're definitely turning that corner!
