A good Sunday

I really enjoyed my Sunday. Not much relax time but got some things done. First, the mares got some turn out time, much to their delight.
A little thing like being over 10 months pregnant didn't slow them down at all, they let 'er rip!
Fat girls can run, I'll have you know!


Nitro got some quality time too; I trimmed his front feet, and then Dave did some trailer loading which I helped with, and he learned that it was less work to load than it was to say no.
Meanwhile, Shayla was working on Rio, getting him to give and flex from the ground. Since he was being a good boy, we thought it was time to get on him bareback, a new experience to him. 
Showing how nicely he can flex! And yes I know- no helmet! Won't happen again!
Shayla, your hair matches Rios tail! He was really good, I'm sure that this horse actually loves  being ridden. He gets such a soft pleased look on his face . But that may change when he actually has to work at learning under saddle later this year, we'll see!
Good boy, Rio!

Nice to see those mares moving out! And you're right, Rio does look pretty smug about the whole thing.

Nothing nicer than hanging out with horses, them all relaxed and having good experiences with humans.
