a few more obstacles

I tried several times to load my pictures but its raining and the internet is not working very well so I will include them in my next post. Yesterday I had 2 wonderful helpers; my almost 3 year old son and my 8 year old nephew. The boys had a blast helping with the cap gun exercise and the wind spinners too. I only gave Owen (my son) and unloaded gun but it still made noise. Linus was surprised at first with noise but he didn't startle and it wasn't long before I was firing it all around him with no reaction. The wind spinner made a funny noise and he wasn't too sure about it but he did accept it and then tried to play with it.

After a bit Griffin decided to ride his bike up and down the long driveway so I asked him to hang on a bit and he could help me. He just loves the fact that he helps me to get points with Linus. Linus was pretty intrigued with the bike but he wanted to chase it instead of run away from it! How typical.

After our few challenge items we moved on to more saddle prep work and I put the Aussie saddle on him. It definitely is a different feel for him but he didn't at all seem to mind having it there.

We're supposed to have a few days of rain so I'm not sure how much will get done over the next few days but we will get there!

A local equine nutritionist decided to have a gala banquet (proceeds went to Big Brothers/Big Sisters) last night. The focus was to just get fellow equine owners together for a fun evening. They had some prizes and awards. It was a fun evening and a great chance to talk about the Curly horse. Only 2 people at our table knew about the breed and that was only because they were friends of mine. So yesterday turned out to be a very horsey focussed day!
