Learning new stuff!

Wow, what smart and nice babies! We took them for their first walkabout and you would think they'd been doing this all of their short little lives. :-)

We headed out over to Beth's parents front pasture/yard and grazed a bit there and Shiraz decided to drop and roll while the boys were eating. This filly loves to waller :-D

We then went down the drive and up the dirt road. Oh, I should mention that we haltered Chiron and Shiraz, but Rip was loose -- his manners were so perfect, I even forgot that he wasn't restrained! They loved seeing all the new stuff, and Shiraz gave her brothers a lead down off the bank on the side of the road, and soon they were all hopping up and down. In fact, Chiron began jumping up and off the bank as if to show Beth "see, I GOT this stuff!!!"

Yesterday we had a farrier preparation session. Shiraz thinks the proper response to having her front feet picked up is to run right over her Aunt Beth. :rolleyes: Beth's boys were pretty good, with Ripple making her a bit dizzy as they went around and around and around . . .



Chiron was good, though. In fact, he was offering his feet up by end of the short practice session.





They get to walk again today! If nothing else, maybe we'll get fit! :-D
