Vixen is now taking her turn at the trainer's. I traded her for Hammer yesterday. 
I am pretty sure Vixen has never been in the trailer, but she willingly hopped right up in there Sunday morning. And thank God for it, since it was already 90 degrees at 9:30 a.m. when I was loading up for the big switch.
Vixen's big brother Voodoo was the first one to go to the trainer this season, and he did well. Vixen is much more self-confident, so it will be interesting to see how she gets along. She is a level-headed sort. Her most famous experience is probably when she was a baby and got a bucket stuck on her head in the pasture. What a hoot she was trying to get it off, and taking her stuck head to everyone she knew to get them to take it off. Eventually her mother brought her to me, to have it removed. I like smart horses.
Obviously, her daddy is Sly. Her dam is Wilson's Foxy Gal, an own daughter of Doc Wilson, and out of a daughter of Freckles Playboy. Third dam is by Fox Easter. Like almost all of my horses, she is HERDA N/N, and will be for sale when she gets home from the trainer in a couple of months.
