A very unlikely pair

One thing you can be sure of when you have this many horses, is that reality changes every day. That does keep things interesting for sure.

Today it is the dynamic between Snap and Rondee. Ever since Rondee came home from training two weeks ago, she has been in the front lot with Snap and baby Cricket. I am confident I had a reason for putting Snap through this, but it slips my mind at the moment. It has been particularly gratifying to see Snap put Rondee in her place, as she is very timid and the other mares run her around a lot. She is evidently not putting up with it from Rondee though, which cracks me up. Snap must not read the internet like everyone else, or she would surely have heard of Rondee's reputation as a bully and a little squirrelly. Snap sure does not look scared, the way her lip is hanging down, and the only thing that looks nuts on Rondee is the way she is studying me

Anyway, Snap's baby has taken up with Rondee, who is being very sweet to her. It is a little wierd that Snap allows it, I think, since she does not normally share her baby with anyone. Today I got a photo of the whole lovefest to prove it.

On that note, Barry has taken to calling Rondee "the crazy one" based on her training reports. Today, it is apparent that he is being sarcastic, as she is being so good. Two weeks of turnout has decompressed her faster than I ever could have imagined, and that is a huge relief. She actually is seeking us out for attention, and tolerating affection like she never did before. Let's hope the trend continues
