We took the mares out and the girls got busy brushing. My two ponies were seriously muddy! The snow was beginning to melt and Star LOVES to roll in the mud so she had mud crusted all over her. The girls had a great time brushing and the horses enjoyed all the fussing too!
Star stood like a good girl and closed her eyes while they were brushing. Her tail even got a thorough comb through! Zoe handled the fussing fairly well. After a while, she got impatient and started swinging her butt around making it difficult to brush her. At that point the girls were basically done with Zoe so I walked her around. Once she wasn't fidgety I put her back out. Star is my 'steady eddie' and nothing ever phases her so no worries with her.
As soon as she was free (right after I let her go) she got busy - rolling in the mud. The girls were NOT impressed. I just had to laugh - it's just like Star to roll after getting all dolled up!
We all went inside for about an hour to get warmed up and then it was back out with the horses. This time the girls each had a lead rope. They led the horses around in the pasture for at least an hour. Star and Zoe did so good for the little girls. I was so proud of both my daughter and my horses. When the friend's dad came to pick her up she didn't want to go!
Another good day with the ponies!
Until next time!
