Amazing self-teaching foal!

How bout this for an easy foal to train? Barry brought Fuzzy in to be trimmed and haltered CC for the first time to worm her. He left a drag rope on CC to learn about it--we were right outside her stall watching the Rondee show, so we knew she would be all right on this first adventure.

She was more than all right. Somehow she got the lead wrapped around something, and set back against it. I snapped this photo just as she was figuring out that if you give to the pressure, it will give back. I thought that was swell.

Barry went in to release the rope from whatever she had gotten tangled up in--and how is it they find things that were not there ten seconds before? Anyway, once she was released, she must have been very grateful, or proud of herself, as she took a big bow. Note the slack in the rope, as Barry was holding it trying to figure out what her next trick would be.Babies sure do keep you on your toes!

I'm addicted to blogs. I love all the Mark Twain quotes, since I've always been a big fan of his. Will Rogers is another good one to quote.
You are living proof of several of Twain's quotes.
The Fonz has never looked so good. I still say we need to be riding him.
Love you,
Mom
