Happy Hour

Just spent some quality time with the horses. Did stalls, water and got the hay ready for their night but haven't put them in yet (too early). Alexis followed me around trying to talk me into holding still and petting her (which I often did). At one point, she went into Cody's stall, which has a large gate on one side. She untied the gate and shut herself in it. THEN after a few minutes, she opened it again, walked outside, picked up the rope tied to it, and pulled it shut again. ROFL. Alrighty then!!! I don't know if she's just that smart, or she just loves to manipulate things so much. She's always picking things up and carrying them around; the hose, fly masks, towels, brushes, my PHONE. Jagger came around and I brushed him, then he followed me around when I emptied the wheel barrow. 

That's my kind of "Happy Hour"

While Cody is Down

I was going to ride Champ while Cody is out of commission recovering from his surgery.

But he's just too much work.

Gets in the trailer fine one time, refuses the next. So naturally, you have to keep working until you get him in. And by that time, I miss my ride start time. (when meeting others).

Won't let me mount one time, is fine the next. Will I be embarrassed today trying to get on the horse in front of people?

It's like he really just doesn't like me sometimes. We've just never bonded. It's sad. He's a smart pretty horse. Maybe too smart. We just don't mesh.
