Spa Day

It's been raining now for 3 days....so instead of riding in the brief break in the rain at 5:30am, I chose to bring all 3 horses in the barn for a spa day.  I do this some mornings, usually when it's raining...but today just to do something different.  Zoe seemed very interested in doing something different.  Everyone got a good curry and brush.  Got to look at all the bumps and spots on the horses.  Manes, tails, face rubs, feet really clean....only to go back out in the mud.  Everyone had their favorite spots scratched. The barn cat decided to crawl inside of an empty shavings bag, it made the bag wiggle.  Zoe and Sky didn't care, but Skippy kept an eye on that bag.  Just about a month ago the cat crawled into a shavings bag when it was outside sitting in the sun--a nice warm place to take a nap.  We made sure the bag had a big opening.  But the bag was not in the sun this morning in the barn..so the cat was out of it pretty quick.   Then we did deworming.....oh well, had to throw in something that had to be done.   Then "bucket time"-treats for having to eat that dewormer.   Zoe is usually the first one in the barn when I do this and the last one out.  She has learned to stand and calmly wait her turn.  I remember many times in the past that she was not as patient...pawing the ground, neighing, sometimes even pulling back.  It's nice to see the change.
