Rain Rain Go Away...

Today was very rainy. All day. Sometimes long hard downpours, sometimes just (what my grandfather used to call) spit rain.

All of the horses stayed in today.

Roo has had two days off due to my work-related activities and travel. But today I had the day off as the equine dentist visited all of our horses, including Roo.

Roo did not need anything done, as he is still young, but the dentist noted he has some wolf teeth coming in and he will need them removed in the Spring. So Roo will have a visit from his dentist in the Spring again.

Because he had been in all day, I was sure to take him into the arena this evening and exercise him. We didn't do much free lunging, just walking and whoaing and back up. I let him then enjoy himself and walk around the arena and play with cones and smell the flower boxes, etc.

He then got a good grooming, a picked out (freshened) stall, and a walk down the aisleway before being put up for the night. He is getting more affectionate with me.

I have also learned that Roo's favorite treat is Nature Valley Granola Bars Honey & Oats flavor. He will pass up everything in his bucket except this treat.

We simply had some fun together tonight. He will go out tomorrow, as it's supposed to be close to 65 and nice again. I'm sure he'll be happier than staying in.
