ARANI

"Arobridge Arani" is the name for Big Boy
Nikita emailed me the name she chose for Big Boy....ARANI which means orange. What a lovely name for such a handsome boy.  The rain is still falling and Arani, Oscar and Louka have been out on the fresh grass again today. Tonight I have opened the stall and pen for them as well- let's see if they can handle being under a roof...I figured I could let them work that out for themselves. It is Louka's favourite place so I think by morning they will have found it to be a nice warm dry spot to shelter without me manoeuvering them in there. Arani was hot on my heels when I went to feed out the hay before dark tonight- not quite touching me but almost...Wow he's come a long way....he watches everything with intense interest and whinnies out to everyone that is a regular at my place...I think he loves the attention....Oscar is quietly getting on with things..he sort of keeps a low profile at the moment..If he's not beside Arani he's right beside Louka...He seems so much younger now, but they were playing today and seem much happier and settled...every day there's improvement. I am trying to give the yards a bit of a rest so am shutting the gate while they are out on the grass, but they do go back to the yards if they are unsure about things..bit like a safehouse really so I don't like to keep it shut for long.  Let's see what tomorrow brings
