A Fun Friday

A beautiful day today...

We welcomed a new boarder today, this is Shar, a 25 year old Arabian mare. Welcome Shar!

This morning I uttered the words we all fear the most, "We have to fix Angel's clothing." It such a pain, first of all, she hates to be caught so it's a big dramatic production to get her in the pasture. Usually it involves all of her pasture mates joining in the chase which quickly grows out of control- old and lame Sanctuary horses racing around joyfully on three legs, bucking horses, barking dogs, dust flying, etc. Then, once Angel is caught, she won't stand still for anything. You have to take your life into your hands to change her clothes. It's kind of like a pit stop in the Indy 500- you just get in, get it done and get out. As soon as we are finished, off she goes, straps and sheets flapping and we all just look at each other and grimace, dreading her next wardrobe malfunction... Only at Shiloh!

Felipe tried to trick her into thinking he really wasn't coming for her- but that's the oldest trick in the book! They ALWAYS know when you are coming for them...

The chase is on! I had to tie her hood to her sheet, when she put her head down her hairless neck was exposed to the sun. Her clothing is UV protective...

And this is the finished result- I know, it pretty much looks the same as the before photo- but her neck sheet is now secured. All that drama for one little adjustment...

TC, Okay Corral...

For our Shiloh friends who are not on Facebook, these photos were taken at my last horse show, Woodside...

This is actually an Advanced Level cross country jump! It's called a Giant's Table and it was HUGE...

We finished in seventh place- thanks to the hard work and support from the team from Shiloh!
