A few things to catch up on in this post. Theo continues to be a delight, and I got a few of his antics to show you.
They weren't too impressed with him
I managed to get an airborne photo- cell phone pic so not very good stop action. He is all shed out now and looking fantastic.
Mr. Handsome Jr.
I'm sure gonna miss him. His person will be here on August 31 to pick him up for the long ride to Vancouver Island.
Derpy little dude!
I guess it's time to start teaching him to trailer load. He already is easy to catch, leads well, and is pretty good with his feet. I need to start slowly separating him from his mama, so far he doesn't seem too worried when she is a long way away, like when he stays at the barn and she goes out to graze. It's more about Velvet not getting upset than him when I start the process.
There have been a few photo worthy things too like this little bee sleeping in a cosmo early one cool morning.
The rain left pearl drops on this spider web.
I never notice how very many spider webs there are until they get all covered in dew!
The fire situation seems to be under control. Not nearly as much smoke now that we have had a few days of rain. The rain also softened up horse feet enough so that I could trim Gussie, today is Velvet's turn. I hope she cooperates with me, as she doesn't like my farrier, so I get to do her myself. Silly old mare.

He is quite a boy!
Beautiful pictures and a handsome colt!
What a beauty he is! And I am glad to hear that the smoke and fires have calmed a bit.
We had a mule that we had to trim ourselves too. She absolutely did not like the farrier. Though when that guy quite and we had another, she buttered right up to him. Odd isn't it?
He’s a beauty of a colt. He’ll grow into a handsome horse.
Velvet is so like that. Her previous owner had a farrier that she liked, but one time when he wasn't available and they brought in someone else she absolutely refused to let him trim her. I did manage to get one foot mostly done and another one partly done, I guess I will take a few days but we will get it done without getting her ticked off at me. Easy does it!
The nice part about selling horses through social media is that I can get updates on them! I hope to see photos and stories of him as time goes by.
Theo is certainly a handsome dude! You got some great photos...the spider web is awesome:)
