visiting Blaine and the horses.

We started the day by caring for Brees' hooves (named after Drew Brees, she is a young sprightly horse). In the background, Aida and Luna wait for Blaine to work with them. 

It was really great to see the change in Aida and Luna's response and interactions with Blaine over the course of the day; they grew to be much more comfortable and responsive to him. More trusting and curious, less uncertain. 

Shoveling manure, which he composts—now I've got some to fertilize my garden!

Taking a break to walk along the hay bales...

Let's play chase! Blaine has taught the horses a game of chase—it's good to do some running everyday. It was so cool to watch them play. If they run with him, they're rewarded with something tasty to eat, something other than the grass they find in the fields, which they welcome.

Bayou likes to run along too. 

Greta always follows close behind.

 back to work with Aida and Luna—

Thanks Blaine! I love these horses—can't wait to go back.
