More Adorable Visitors

Quick business update... I'm happy. I'm smiling. Life is good. I spent this morning building employee moral out in the field. They loved it. We had a nice meeting. Chevy let me know he wanted to go on more work walks with me and he should probably actually be with my 24/7. Nina told me that she loves to play out in the field but would probably rather sit working on updating the Facebook page if there are other dogs going to be around. I told her that was okay and we shook on it.

After our meeting we had an awesome snack and I headed off to have a pretty pony filled day. 

Stopped by and played with Rio for a bit. We worked on bending and disengaging in the hind end. He seemed a little stiff going to the left but I guess he had been having an issue to the right but that was for side-passing only. When an owner says that a horse is still in an area I like to look before I ask which side to see if I pick up the same thing. It was a quick 20 minute session but we worked through it and he loosened up.

After that I met up with a friend from work, one of the DVMs actually. She brought her son to the barn to meet the horses. He's a little younger than little Hannah I believe but crazy about animals. He was waddling back and forth between Zoe, who I put in the arena, and the ponies who were in the paddocks across from her yelling, "NEIGH! NEIGH!" Adorable? I think so.

I pulled Brantley out of his paddock to meet him but unfortunately, he was little more interested in playing with the toys and Brantley... Wanted to eat grass. We got a few shots though!

I just love how gentle he is.

I also received an unexpected message from an old friend... I mean a really old friend. Her daughter, now 3, was obsessed with horses after a pony ride at a local park and she was wondering if she could bring her by. Ummmm... of course! So Brantley got more carrots and a lot more love which is good because I've been "neglectful". Much needed time off is more like it!

This just adds to all the pony love I've been having for this horse lately. I mean, I've loved him for a majority of our relationship... But I just can't even believe who this horse is... Plus it was pretty awesome to catch up with your childhood best friend who you haven't seen in... 15+ years.

Yes... We're that old.
