Today 6 years later this little filly is our tallest mare growing taller than her 17 hand mother.
These 3 were the most reactive to the Wizard prop so Karin was working with them and by the time she finished they were fine with her walking around them, touching them and getting up close and personal.
Below are Rosalie and Ayanna, the full sisters watching to see if Karin is going to ask them to move.
Above is Indy in the blue halter and below is Ayanna in the red halter. Indy and Ayanna were both born in 2010 and are half sisters as Raven is the sire to both. They grew up together at Middle Grove with the herd and even though they are both Friesians their dispositions are very different. Indy is sweet, and very emphatic, knowing when another mare is worried, she will leave the herd or her food to comfort a mare in distress. Ayanna is bossy and kind of a know it all. Her mom Lily is the boss mare out at Middle Grove so she comes by her bossiness honestly.
Below Rosalie was getting bored with the Wizard prop and let us know by her big yawns. Those big yawns help her relax around the scary object until she was no longer worried.
She kind of looks like she is laughing at Karin for wearing such a funny costume as she sticks out her tongue as if to say, "you don't scare me!"
Karin only had time to work with these 3 today before she needed to leave. Mark arrived just as she was finishing up and helped move a bale in for the middle paddock mares.
We are expecting snow tonight which is suppose to change to freezing rain by morning. Hopefully we can get some warmer air in to change that forecast to all rain as we are all tired of ice around here.
