WHOA NELLY!!!

Wishes kicked up her heels (literally) today with her new friends, Gus and Moody. She ran around in the turn-out for a good 20 minutes before I finally took her out for a walk around the ranch. We later met up with Betsy and Gem. Gem is doing great and looking very relaxed under Betsy gentle touch. Happy Birthday, Bets.

OLD FRIENDS MAKING NEW FRIENDS

Saturday, January 12th, I was accompanied by one of my dearest friends, Laura, to Shiloh. She finally got to come out and meet "my girls", and made quick friends with Celebrate and Wishes. I sure hope Laura comes out again soon. We had a lot of fun playing with the horses.

A Breakthrough with Kite

After a nearly 3-week hiatus, Betsy finally made it back out to Shiloh and had wonderful results with Kite. A breakthrough! Betsy was able to get the lead rope on Kite 3 different times, and more importantly, was able to stroke her and rub her all over, including down her legs.

I took Wishes out for a walk in her new raspberry-colored halter. She's still quite nervous, but she's getting better. A very fun day for us all.

A Winter's Day

Despite the ominous clouds over Sandy Valley, Grace and I enjoyed a couple of hours out at Shiloh with our 3 favorite horses: Kite, Wishes and Celebrate. We groomed Wishes and Celebrate, and shy little Kite allowed us to touch her on the nose.
