A bucketful of winter/ foal coat

Today was the best day ever...I played with Gypsy just generally being with her and doing figure 8's - put my saddle on her- thought I'd better get her used to it before mid NOVEMBER!!!  Groomed Louka- what a handsome boy he is now...Sarg was his usual character self..LBE...always have to think of new things for him, he's so inquisitive and wanting to play..He really is good fun. Then I went on and put the halter onto Oscar...still takes a while but he doesn't mind in the slightest once I touch him...but I still take a lot of time to do anything with him. I just love to be with him. I put Louka and Arani into the yardsand then went out into the paddock and mirrored his movement, my arms being the front feet and my legs the backs (and yes I am still standing- I don't go down on all 4's hahahaha) We move together right arm to his right front- in no time at all we were trotting in the paddock and we trotted all the way into the yards like that...Such fun...then I put the halter on and brushed him all overeven his legs and under his belly.  I got a whole bucketful of hair- my gosh what a lovely looking boy he will be- bit gangly now but he'll grow into his body- he's only 2years old. I must take my camera next time- keep forgetting it. It's so nice to spend some time outside in that beautiful sunshine- can't wait till tomorrow.

  2. We sure are...this would have been a long way from my comfort zone a couple of years ago, but I am absolutely loving it all now. X
