Horsen Around

I only worked at Berean for a couple hours this morning. I knew Rhoda was coming and wanted to be here. To read about our morning at Berean click HERE.
When I arrived home Rhoda had a surprise with her, she brought Jace today. The day was sunny and 40 degrees causing the ice to melt. Evan was taken to the outdoor arena and did he ever have fun. He was showing off big time.

 We brought him into the indoor to tack up when Rebekah arrived with Jordan giving Jace a friend to play with.

 Rhoda gave pony rides using Evan for these boys.

 Evan settled down to work and Rhoda was pleased. 

I took the boys in the house to play so Rhoda, Emily and Rebekah could take Evan, Oksana and Jenis out on the trails. To see the rest of Evan's pictures on Facebook click HERE.

 Rebekah asked Jenis to rear for a picture, since Rebekah is pregnant (I almost wrote carrying) she just asked for a small rear. Jenis is so well trained.

 Below is Emily on Oksana. We are thrilled this 3 year old will lead.

Karin arrived after not too much later and today was the day she introduced the mares to the pirate flag.

 The mares were asked to move away from the flag then change direction always keeping their eyes on Karin. Next she walked through the group of mares then each mare was hooked up to the lead rope and asked to follow Karin while she waved the flag. The last step is to have the flag wave near then above them and on each side. They all did well with this except Zalena. She was very very afraid and reacted by trying to run away.

 Indy saw her upset, came over and started nuzzling her to comfort her. We were both surprised at Indy. It worked, Zalena settled down accepting what Karin was asking. We both exclaimed, "Indy is such a sweet mare!"

Spark, Rhonda, Greg, Beth, Marvin, and Gail are all down in Gulf Shores, AL. They posted a few pictures of their catch. These fish were caught right off the beach. Check out the size of these monsters, WOW!

and of course we can't finish this with FISH pictures, no no not on a horse blog. Jessica posted the picture below and writes: Here is an updated picture of Kenobi (Evan x Jewel). His withers measure at 14.2 HH at six months! His first show is coming up in a month, we can't wait to show him off!

This is Jewel's 2015 colt by Evan. He has Evan's amazing movement, Raven's height and his mom's sweet loving disposition. He will easily be able to go to the highest levels of dressage. We are thrilled he has a show home.
