We got there roughly on time, and it was already busy. But everyone was up riding before Pony Club so I was able to feed horses and then start getting them outside.So it’s now like 75 degrees all of a sudden and that has definitely made some horses cranky. Emmitt was rattling the bars furiously and screaming for food, then screaming to be let out, and taking horses out proved to be. Fun. Bella tried to murder me, for example, as did Andre. Ellie tried to kill everything in her way. Buff attempted to go one way and Velaris another, and then when I was putting them in their pen Velaris leaned over, bit the top of my hat, yanked it off my head, and flung it over the gate.jerkasses.Weirdly enough Emmitt and Bella both had the same weird reactions once outside: Emmitt charged at Dan, then started grooming him furiously, and Bella immediately stopped being a bitch and attacking everything and started nibbling Reese very sweetly.Horses.Pony Club was getting ready by this point, so I set up an area outside in the grass and let them do their thing before bringing Quattro in. The outside arena is absolutely destroyed right now due to the fact we’ve had non-stop rain for several days - and yesterday was just a storm - but there was a patch of grass that was. Springy, moist, but relatively workable.I got Quattro ready, and then brought him out to practice some tricks with him. Jumping over him, shooting the cap gun underneath him, and having him jump over me in a free zone like the grass. He clipped my shoulder once, but did really well. And I was really impressed by how much he kept his focus on me, too.So yeah. That all went much better than it had any right to, really. And Quattro is always so funny afterwards. Just… mashes against me, hides behind me, checks if I’m okay. It’s so funny.The rest of my time was spent grooming horses. Poor Q isn’t doing so hot. Extremely sore, had a lot of trouble bringing his hind legs up. I feel terrible for him. Jaeger, meanwhile, was nothing but mud. Happy to come in, happy to stand and be groomed, but lordt I think I barely got the first layer off.I also ended up in the boys’ pen before leaving. Just petting horses. Emmitt came up to me and spat a mouthful of hay on me and ran away. Tosh and Rhymer spent a lot of time begging treats out of me and then just standing and hanging out. Tosh uh. Did chomp my ear real good, at one point.I dunno, horses.So yeah. Made the most of today, practiced some new tricks, did some things I thought would. Get me kicked in the face, yet did not.I’ll take the wins where I can get them. -- source link
