Happy Birthday

 Happy birthday to Breezy my birthday boy!

Run Ponies Run

 

3 Musketeers

 Stormy is allowing Bentley to eat from the hay bale now. BUT Bentley has to remain calm or Stormy will kick him off. Stormy doesn’t allow any horsing around at the hay bale. Bentley started pawing impatiently because he couldn’t eat fast enough, one paw and Stormy gave him a glare and that was it. No more pawing!

Pony Box & Pony Express

 Dave added rings to my trailer so I will be able to tie ponies to it.

Perfect!

Getting things ready for my next trip!

Just about ready to go!

Mini Horse Play

 After a heated discussion yesterday between Bentley and Stormy I am finally able to turn Bentley out with the dynamic duo. Bentley thought he should be in charge, but Stormy wasn’t giving up his pasture to a 2 yo. Bentley finally knows his place in the herd, which is at the bottom. I am glad Breezy also stood his ground and Bentley is at the low man on the totem pole, I really did not want him in charge. Stormy runs a nice, quiet, peaceful herd!! Bentley is just so playful, a typical 2 yo. He is learning the ropes and settling in nicely!

Breezy Visits Hollee’s Hood

 We got to go visit Hollee today and take a drive through her neighborhood.

Breezy - Harmon Field Park

 I meet up with my friend Julie and her horse Hollee at Cobb Park. Unfortunately we couldn’t drive there because there were stray dogs, 4 of them were pit bulls and one a German Shepherd. Julie ended up taking the black German Shepherd and we called animal control on the pit bulls. We left and headed to another park in the Trinity River Trail system, Harmon Field Park. What a wonderful surprise! Such a pretty little park! Breezy did great and so did Hollee. We had a blast and drove for about an hour. When we got back to the trailer & van, we had a picnic lunch. What a wonderful day! We named the new dog Trinity and hope that she will be able to go with us on future drives, she is just a puppy maybe 10 months old and very sweet.

Bentley Visits Atwoods

 I can’t believe how well Bentley did today at Atwoods! He handled it like a little champ. Lots of people petting him, so many scary things to see, weird noises, and different smells. I am so proud of him, he is going to make a fantastic trail horse, he has a really good mind!

First Time Out Together

 This is the first time Bentley went out with Stormy and Breezy. I was completely shocked how my two little ones acted, they were not going to give up their “territory” without a fight and Stormy hates confrontation, he is not a fighter. I do have to say I was proud he stood up for himself. I did have to separate them but we will keep trying to get them all together in the upcoming weeks. Eventually everyone will go out together, and hopefully they will all get along.

Bentley Gets Gelded

I took Bentley to the vet today. I went to load him in the van and I was shocked that he jumped right in! I guess all he needed was a little food motivation. Hubby was there to help but was also surprised he loaded so well. I will be working more on loading him next week. He is such a little champ in the van, perfectly behaved. At the vets today, he received all his shots and had his coggins pulled. He weighs 183 pounds and the vet said he might get up to 250 pounds. His gelding surgery went really good this morning, not much blood at all. It is official, he is now a gelding, woohoo!! The vet looked at his teeth, decided he didn’t need a float, said he had really good teeth for a mini, and that they all line up perfectly. The doc also guesstimated Bentley to be a 2 year old this spring or summer, so cart training will begin this fall!!!

Snip, snip

Bentley is now a gelding!

Recovering after surgery.
He took his sweet time getting up.

Still waking up from surgery.

Bentley Chilling!

Oh my heart! Bentley fell asleep in my lap this morning! He is the sweetest! 

And here is another video of him just relaxing.

New Pony!

 I am so in love, I seriously don’t know what I did before this pony! He should mature around 36 inches or so and gets gelded on Friday (I haven’t told him that yet!)

On our way home

The picture from his ad that stole my heart

Meets the other 2 little boys

My new pony is settling in nicely! Took him for a small walk around the orchard, he did great. Got a couple of lounge circles in at the trot as well. He is a very quick learner and tries extremely hard to please. When we first got home he was scared to death, shaking a little. Once he saw Breezy & Stormy he calmed down nicely. He is doing great! I am so excited about our future together!

Let’s Drive!

 We have had such beautiful weather lately. Breezy & I had a fabulous drive today!
