There has been a lot of activity lately at Wilson H2! Susan’s daughter, Leah has arrived back at the farm and she has been out playing with us in the fields, and then taking some of us to the arena for some “tuning up” as she calls it.
One of my fieldmates, however, has not been so excited, because Leah puts her to work when she is used to her fill of leisure time. Her name is Casino and she is a very pretty black mare with a white star (but not as pretty as me). It’s been funny watching Leah trying to catch her. The first time it took a full 30 minutes, and ended in a bribe of grain, but lately it seems like they are becoming friends too.
What I don’t understand is why no one is paying more attention to me. Here I am, a beautiful dun mare with a lovely sweet face and Leah doesn’t come as often to get me from the field to work. I am a working girl at heart: I like to run fast, do sliding stops and spin til Susan gets dizzy, but life for me has slowed down a bit while I am recovering from an old injury.
I really shouldn’t complain too much, Casino comes back to the field looking pretty tired, while I get all of the attention and love from Leah and the rest of the ranch hands for free! In fact, there are rumors that when the kids come this summer for the Amber Marshall Horse Camps, I’ll be the special horse that they get to learn how to groom, pick my feet, wash, and even more exciting, paint on! Hopefully they choose some nice colours to show off my beautiful brown eyes.
If they do a good job, I’ll be sure to post pictures of my new look.
