Lilly, the filly, was delivered safely to Vicksburg, Michigan last evening to begin her halter training. She had never even seen the horse trailer before, and wanted nothing to do with it. I wasn't in the mood to do it alone, or make a lasting negative impression on her so I made a quick call up to the neighbors and soon had four volunteers for the job. Two of us linked hands behind her bottom and "scooped" her into the trailer. After the doors were shut I was on my way. I stopped and checked her a couple times, and she was safely balanced at the back of the trailer, riding quietly. She walked politely into the barn and took a big drink of water when she arrived. She will have a couple days to get settled in and then they will start teaching her to pose.
We are dashing around here today to get organized for a few days away. The camper never got completely unpacked after Dairy Days, so it isn't a major job to get out the driveway by tomorrow morning. Well....for us anyway. Daddy may be another story. He has been working on a major project all summer that really has a life of its own. We are grateful for the work, but would really like a few days break. That should happen tomorrow, barring any major upsets in the schedule of the job. Fingers and toes crossed here!!
