Hubby had to go get some hay yesterday. I got the bright idea for Stevie to go. He was excited and ready to go for a ride. I told him before he left that if he was going to be a cowboy he had to learn how to sling that hay. He said "cowboy" and headed out the door. They got back with the hay and I reminded Stevie about the hay and being a cowboy. He actually helped to stack the hay!! He was so excited and doing such a great job UNTIL hubby accidentally knocked his cd case off the back of the truck. The world stopped till he got the jacket in the case just right and was able to put it back just so. He fussed a bit, but finished the job. We were so happy that he did that. This is a first for him.

A came over today to help us with the horses. Since we got rain last night we knew things would be a bit slick. I went out and caught Kelly. She did great with no one else in the pasture. She usually runs and acts crazy for a bit and makes me do tricks to catch her. She is training me pretty well. Anyway, we got her in the round pen and started to do a little bit with her. She did ok, but that knee is bothering her big time. A and I were talking and she meantioned clippers. I told her we had some but hadn't used them on the horses. So, we send hubby inside to get the clippers. We were pleasently suprised that Kelly did GREAT!

Hubby went to catch Bill. Bill is usually the one that is easy to catch. Not today. He made Neal chase him down and go through the big mud puddle. hee hee and nanner nanner to him. The last time Bill was clipped we had to twitch him. He shied a little bit but he stood there and did great also! we were so proud. He is really comming a long way.

While A and Neal worked on Bill, I stood with Kelly. We worked on her not crowding me. She keeps trying to put her head in my space. Then we worked on her trying to nip at me. She would try, I wouldn't let her and then she would look all innocent and start fidgeting with something else.

A told me that they are starting up a 4-H equestrian group here. I am going to get Beth in it. I think it will be great for her. Stevie will have his speical olympics, they both will have the horseman's association and barrel racing. Then she will have this for just her.

This afternoon I told Beth that now that it's warming up she has to get out there and bush Biggy and help feed him. She is also going to have to help clean up behind him. She was all excited. We will see how long it lasts lol.
