Lady arrived early on thursday morning 03-19-2009, already up and running by daybreak,, makes imprinting different,,

Lady is here 2 wks. early,,, lots more room out here..

Only 1 day old and already having a doctor's appointment,, mom don't seem to care,, must be because of the trust and repor established with all the horses,, this is Nike's firstborn..

Hey what's up with this halter training already,, remember I came 2 wks. early,, I should get some vacation time before going to school..

Wonder why we did all that halter training,, we never use it anymore,, now it's all voice and string commands,,

  Young ones communicating,, and they are good at it,, Riley will make a great trainer,,

I can do this barrel racing,,just get me some barrels and a rider...

Well I don't think we are going for a long ride today,,,  and since we are just bonding I do believe I'll get a bite to eat...

So here we were a long way from home and my horse wanted to eat but I didn't bring any cookies for myself...

Hey now I sure hope you don't plan on a long ride today,, it's too hot and  I'd rather go for a cold shower....
 

 Plastic bags and blowing tarps in the classroom,, oh well much more to come before graduation...

Obstacle course,,, would much rather just go eat some hay..

Now this I can do,, just let me stand here...

Done with this part of my life,,, let's pack up and go home...

Let her think it was her idea and just follow along.

The love for a horse is just as complicated as the love for another human being...if you never love a horse, you will never understand...

" The ONLY way to have a friend is to be one," Ralph Waldo Emerson wisely pointed out, and his advice can aptly be applied to our relationships with horses.
