11/11/2002 - Here's our little Mousie learning to tie! She
did a wonderful job in school today. As a reward, she got herself
a manicure. She wasn't overly delighted with the idea at first,
but she settled down and was a very good girl for Mr. Farrier!
Update
8-9-2003 - Holy Haystacks!!!
We had a visitor
at TIER that I had never met before! Grace told me the lady used
to come out to visit and help a long time ago. The lady's name
is Stephanie and she adopted Grace's friend Amber. Sadly, Amber
crossed the Rainbow Bridge recently and Stephanie came out here
to visit us for a couple of days in remembrance of her lovely
friend.
I guess Grace's
friend Amber inspired Stephanie to start taking John Lyon's courses
in horse training. So, I thought Ms. Stephanie was just going
to visit, give us treats, talk sweetly to us, rub on us, coo over
our beauty and intelligence, etc. HAAAAAA!! Next thing I know
this lady has got me in the round pen and sticks some kind of
metal thingy in my mouth!!!
Being the
very intelligent, easy going kinda girl I am, I accepted this
bit thing without any problems. She started asking me to 'give
to the bit'. Whatever the heck that means. She would put pressure
on one side of this contraption and, of course, I would turn the
way she wanted me to. What........did she think I was gonna freak
out or sumpthin??? I may be a petite gal in stature, but their
isn't anything petite about my brain! I figured it out pretty
darn quick and didn't even throw a hissy fit (like some horses
I know!)
What was the
big deal anyway? She had me going this way and that way, rubbing
ropes all over me, under my belly, around my flanks, legs, etc.
She must be easily entertained because none of this bothered me
at all. (I already learned some of this from that nice guy Harry!!)
It was 104 degrees out there that day and she spent a long time
doin all this stuff. By the time she had satisfied herself that
she could do rope tricks, I was bored. Sigh. Finally, that Gail
lady came over, gave me some icky stuff she called wormer (yup....it's
that time again! They stick this gooey stuff in our mouths every
couple of months and it tastes gross!) and I got to go back and
finish my breakfast. Ahhhhh, Humans! They sure are funny creatures!
