Hot Days in January 2011

Nakita and Sarg in the creek



Nakita and Sarg

 Today Nakita & I decided to play for a while when it was cooler than 27 Degrees so we waited until after 5.30pm...it was still pretty hot but we got Gypsy into the stall and gave her a good grooming and put Zinc all over her nose (she hates this) but in the end she was well covered and we went out to play....Nakita did all the friendly games with her- and used the carrott stick for some of the games as well...did the bend with one rein brilliantly ( Nakita swears she was giving her a cuddle).Gypsy is sooo good with children- she just melts when they are around.....Not long after we had done this Megan arrived and Nakita helped her saddle Sarg up- when I looked in they had a cap and sunglasses on his head and were just going through the friendly games before he went out to do some serious work....He was great soon settled down and loved the cones on the ground and ridden...went over the jumps- you can see he loves to have fun...Megan and Nakita promised him a swim if he was good...so off they went with Nakita on his back across the paddock then through the stream and back a few times- then up the driveway back to the stall....He was great and Nakita loved BUT was NOT IMPRESSED when he stood on her foot when she took him back to the paddock...No harm done though. Next Maxwell- He is soo good at moving his butt away from us now...he is learning to back up quite well too now and after a lot of Nakita hugs and cuddles, a bit of a brush and Megan lead him back into the paddock. He was lovely didn't realise he was off the lead for ages and followed her back to the gate...Hahaha what a character he is...he's sooooo nosey.
