Jenna Nelson , Matt Sheridan, and I brought our horses home yesterday . It was great! I never met a better bunch of people and this is going to be a blast! I got to keep Jenna overnight and we got up early to play with our girls.
Here they are being run into the chute to load.
I think the best thing is that they are friends also, they came from the same herd and in the group of horses they were sticking close together.

I separated them so that they could be played with. Jenna had here horse, Aim, following her and smelling her within minutes. The picture above is her and Aim. I decided to name my horse Prosperity. She is the one wrapped in the rope. I quickly was able to teach her inside and outside turns in the round pen. I tossed my rope at her and she really was not too bothered by it. She got a little nervous but not a big deal. I started rubbing her (mostly on the right side) with a carrot stick and she let me touch her with my hand. within a few hours I was able to rub down her neck and butt one the one side and now I need to work on the other. They both seem to be very thoughtful mares and quiet. Jenna is outside sitting with Aim as she eats her lunch and I am about to go back outside to play again. More later......
