Uh oh...looks like somebody wants to be a reindeer? (Look closely between Roo's ears.) It's that time of year! Our first low of 15 - 20 degrees tonight, so Roo got his blanket reattached to him.In the photo if you look over my right shoulder (your left) you will see Roo's stall is decorated. I'll get a picture of that too at a later date.
Over the left side of Roo's haunch (your right) off in the background, that is Eagle's stall decorated. At least I'm way ahead of the decoration game with the horses. Who knows when I will get the house done?????
I got to test STAND in the field this weekend in a situation where I was leading that flirty mare Belle up from her paddock through the four muskateers gelding field (Roo, Sin, Andy, Sam). Of course on my way back up the paddock toward the gate, Roo headed at a mighty prance toward me. I stepped away from Belle and yelled STAND and put up my hand signal. Well, he stopped. And he stood. And if I didn't have Belle, I would have run up to him and given him lots of praise, because I never expected it would work. It was just reflex on my part, and good listening and paying attention skills on his! LOLOL...
When it works in the field, that is when you know you have made a mighty good and long-lasting impression!
Not to be outdone, Eagle wants to be a reindeer too. So his photo ends tonight's blog. Eagle often visits Roo through the stall bars when I'm grooming him. They seem to like each other. Eagle is head honcho in his field, so if I ever bring both of them home, I think they will get along nicely.

Our horses are all jealous! They have Christmas stockings but now they want more!!!
What a good boy for listening to stand in the field!
Don't let Ann fool you. Our horses are not jealous. You may have a reindeer but we have the most famous reindeer of all.... Just wait, Ann will send you some pictures in the next couple of days.
