I had to teach my boyfriend how to feed our horses while I was at the Dragon because Sunday's are my horse feeding day. I feel your pain!! It took my 3 weeks to convince him that my 17h horse Dudley wouldn't hurt him! We will miss you today - but we will do this again next year with more notice. I am getting ready to load up my car & roll out of here to the cruise.

My potential replacement thought this was fun and enjoyed giving treats. When the TB gets out he often quickly does a task without a que so he can get in on the treats. He came past us turned to face us and chose to do a huge Hi Ho Silver. The sight of 17-1 h and 1400 lbs standing on his back legs and pawing the air at about 10 feet was just more that this guy could take. No amount of talking could get him back inside the fence.LOL Sorry for the long post but I knew you would enjoy the story. Everyone enjoy tomorrow.
