Saturday

A gorgeous day!

The Basic Horsemanship Class was great, full of people learning to groom, pick out hooves, catch and lead a horse. These classes are perfect for New Volunteers. It's so nice to see all the sweet rescue horses lined up in the class, being groomed, shedded, and talked to by hardworking students. I think the horses enjoy it as much as the people! Sweet old Moses, a horse who had been abandoned in the desert, is always used for the classes- he is so patient and gentle and it almost brings tears to my eyes to see him being fussed over by caring people. I think he knows just how much his life has changed since he was rescued.


Check out the video of today's class!




Afterwards, some of the New Volunteers washed some of the horses. Below, Seven and Heavenly get a bath...
And then Seven rolled..




We had lots of visitors out, lots of Boarders too. Fortune's adoption was finalized, which we are all happy about. Mancado now has an adoption pending to the Wells Family, another great home. Kit, one of the Animal Control horses who arrived this last week, was quickly adopted to a family who has been waiting for the right horse to come into the rescue. We had other prospective adopters looking at available horses, so it was very busy out there!
