Heather,

I think Henry is trying to 'wear you down' so you just take the darn
thing off him.  Can you put it on him, give him a 'nice boy pat' and walk away
out of the pasture?  Could you go to the barn or out of sight of him and do
the occasional peak?  I think he has YOU figured out and is working it for
all his might.  Remember Fjords are very smart, and they know how to 'work it'
with us. LOL  If the grass is not too short, then he should be just fine.  He
knows how it works and eats when you offer the food.  Get out of his sight,
don't stay with him, I bet he eats within a few minutes when he sees this
isn't working on you anymore.  Good luck. 
Fjords!  Man they are just too
smart and cute,  they really know how to 'mess with us.' :)

I'll say Fjords are smart. Gunnar has become friendlier since my last cat 
died and the dogs are all gone. I was down town one day and when I drove up 
the road to the house I could see Gunnar grazing along the fence by the four 
minis, all girls! He had pushed open his gate that I had not closed 
properly.  He could have romped down the road to freedom, but preferred the 
girls. There was considerable resistance to my returning him to his field 
but we made it.  Later I looked out the window and he was working on the 
sliding board that holds his gate shut. Bet he will figure it out soon.
