Holidays

Happy Holidays from Calvin and family! 

He got some good gifts which I'll talk about in another post, stay tuned for the New Year

and yes his hat scared the horses behind him ;)

These last few weeks I've been busy with finals and work, so my limited free time was spent doing barn chores (read: cleaning up horse poop!) or doing groundwork with this troublemaker. Now that I have more time, I'll post more frequently!

Walking the muddy trails after rain

Isn't the way this mud broke artsy? In all seriousness though, it was slick out there after rain! He was sliding all over the place, but it's good for him to learn not to panic if he slides a bit. Another nice thing is that I don't have to worry about horse shoes getting suctioned off since he's barefoot! My shoes however, different story!

Hanging with his pasture buddies, all best friends now

"Give me a treat!"

"No seriously, I deserve a treat"

Sleepy boy! Oh and you may notice that I cut his mane! Now he's a civilized English horse. Also notice the difference in coat length between Calvin and Quest('s hindquarters). Seriously his fur is out of control. 

Laugh it up now Calvin, because we're about to get serious with our training ;) 

As you can see, Calvin is doing really well in this home! He's actually gained weight and definitely the "fattest" I've seen him yet. In fact, I fed him beet pulp the other day and he didn't finish it! For those of you who know Calvin, he always finishes his beet pulp. Just goes to show that he was actually full (briefly, he did finish it after our ride ;). I'd say he's a happy mustang!
