It was our first day back working with the horses after having a week off for
the holidays. It was pretty nice weather wise so we made the most of it. The
weather has been pretty much laying down a lot of snow this week. We basically
just worked on refresher stuff. We caught each one and lead them out of the
pen. Then groomed them which included picking out and cleaning each foot. Each
horse is progressing well and they all enjoy the interaction with the mentors.
All of the horses were quite muddy and so it took a while longer than normal to
get them clean. But they all really seemed to enjoy getting cleaned up.
Leilani started out with Magic and got him slicked up and looking beautiful.
Leilani and Magic make a great team and they both adore each other. Nancy
started out with Dusty and had him looking mighty fine in a short time. Then
she went on to work with Moose. Mostly she just wanted to cuddle with him as
she has missed him this week. Leilani moved on to Frosty. This is the first
time she has worked with Frosty and she did exceptional with him.
Nancy went on to work with Spirit and was able to get him cleaned up and looking
nice as well as get his hooves cleaned out nicely. Leilani worked with Gator
and found him to be quite personable. Her grandson, who was observing. fell
instantly in love with him and began trying to convince his grandmother that she
needed to set her sights on Gator instead of Magic.
I was able to pull Yogi and do a little work with him and then I pulled Jack.
We started taking head shots of them for their fact sheets.
