The New Year brought a busy day. Several horses had their scheduled pedicures done, so there was shuffling back and forth. I worked with Baby B and Spirit for a bit. Baby B is growing up and finally is understanding the program. Spirit on the other hand always has to do something that sparks a little more reinforcement of what not to do, and that is cow kicking at grammie when she is grooming his hind quarters. He may have those big beautiful doe eyes and appears to be very sweet but there is a stinker hiding under the surface. We managed after being corrected to get through he grooming session without further incident.
Rosie is doing very well. She loves the space and I think the attention of the boys. Her fav guy is our crooked legged little Trooper. Very fickle young woman she is. The water barrels have been a challenge, with at least a half inch of ice every morning on top. I am not complaining as I know that there are many other places much worse off. Just a pain. I can always count on Glory to break her own ice off though. She watches me and then has to help by taking her big foot and just doing a huge Kerplop right into it. Splash Splash Splash, see what I am doing, while in the meantime you're avoiding the back splash.
Carolyn was here, she worked Silky (her sponsored horse), Glory and Shania. Her talents are wonderful and much appreciated. She has a real knack with the horses. She took Dumplin out for a stroll and he is doing very very well.
Bob has been unable to come over, but I wanted to let you know that he is on the road to recovery which is going to be a slow process, but I thank all of you for prayers and support.
All the horses are doing well and I have compiled a list of horses seeking 2008 sponsors
