Wet again today

Well if I thought it was wet yesterday- today took the cake....the rain just kept on coming- everything and everyone got a good drenching...I let Oscar, Big Boy and Louka back into the paddock this morning -fed them all and Gypsy and Sarg....they were all waiting for me - as though they already know the routine....sometimes I think they know what I'm going to do long before I have thought it...I will swear that Big Boy is just so relieved that Louka has taken charge..his eye is much softer and he will now look at you calmly...I think he is much more relaxed...don't get me wrong he still has the survival instinct so I can't pressure him too much, but there is an acceptance with him now, and I think it's
1/. because he is getting used to the routine and
2/. He is looking to Louka for guidance.
Louka loves humans, and is quite happy to greet us and nuzzle us etc and Oscar and big boy watch with a lot of interest.
Oscar is sceptical at times still but is also very very inquisitive, so that helps.  Big Boy has stopped doing the head lowering/ hiding thing and is walking into the yards right behind us now...I felt so sorry for them today with the relentless rain, then when the creek started to flood I decided to put a heap of hay out for all the horses to help keep them warm.  They don't always go for cover, but I needn't have worried the 3 of them were standing between the little calf shed and under a tree, and they seemed quite happy.  I put Gypsy and Sarg with a heap of hay into the little paddock across the driveway which has another open front shed for them to get out of the rain...I'm sure they were grateful for that. The rain just kept on and on and sure enough the flats flooded - it was a pretty good one this time, I went down to watch it subside later - then back again to check on the horses and yes they were just dandy munching their hay...Hope it's a better day tomorrow...I think winter has arrived after all
