Good Evening All,
I hope everyone had a good day.
It was the typical day here, feeding, watering and I worked with Phred. He still has some issues with his head, but they have improved tremendously. He was out in the round pen for most of the afternoon.
We worked on repairing the well. It was a matter of replacing the switch. But, that all went well.
Apple and Jerri are doing real well. I am finding that Jerri does watch intently when you are near Apple's stall. She will even wonder over, as long as you are standing by Apple's gate. So curiosity is getting to her. We will continue our daily sessions.
All of the horses out in the field are doing well. I was out doing their water tanks this afternoon and Dancer came rushing over. It really is fun to watch him..with him being a Missouri Foxtrotter it always appears that he is gliding across the ground. Anyway, he absolutely loves water and began messing with the hose. He was trying to get himself wet, and of course when he does get wet, he will go rub himself either against Trooper or Whiskey. After he has done this, he will go roll, and then rush around to all the horses saying "LOOK AT ME"!! ( Dancer is a healthy gelding seeking his forever home) Whiskey is another one who enjoys the water, he likes to have his jaw sprayed, no clue as to why. (Whiskey has been with us since he was 8, he is coming 10 now, he came from Northern Nevada, he broke his right rear fetlock as a four yr old, his former owners wanted him to come warmer climate as he was not doing well in the cold with that break) Whiskey would make a good companion horse or if someone would like a very large pet.
Shania and Jonah were together all afternoon, she is still ignoring Dancer despite his efforts to be her friend. As far as mares are concerned Jocori and Rosie seem to run the show.
Well, I think I will call it a night for now..tomorrow there will be much more activity.
Stephanie
