Ugh, Summer Heat

Well, I think the title says it all. I do hate these Texas summers, they are just awful. I seriously need to move! lol. All the horses are good, they are staying cool in the shade, and those who like water allow me to hose them off without halters or lead ropes on them. A few of the horses swim in the pond, Scout, Classi (my retired jumping mare), Fixation, Ruth, and sometimes Leo. All the foals pretty much hate water except Mowgli, though, he doesn't really like getting hosed off. I am going to start working with the foals this summer, they are pretty good about getting halters on, but their leading needs some work. Wendy is great, but the boys are so suborn. Tramp has trouble because he can be a little air headed, and Mowgli is just a fire cracker, always wanting to play, run, and buck with the "grown-up" horses, like Scout, Leo and Banner... It is so funny. Scout is so big, Mowgli looks like her foal when they are grazing together. I sat on Scout the other day, it felt so good, a perfect fit! lol. I was sitting on a huge log and had her with me (with a halter and led rope on) and decided she was calm enough to sit on, so I just did it. Since I haven't practiced it with her all that often, I didn't enjoy it to long, and decided to slide off. lol. Better safe than sorry. She is only two, for those who are wondering who Scout is. Ok, Summer is just around the corner!!! Who else is ready for summer, minus the heat? Taylor
