I walked into the Barn with Holly right behind me. "Courage!
Your going to be a daddy!" Holly said happily. She then turned to Sparkle. "Your going to be a Mommy!" I decided to
groom Flame and Dutchess. I haltered Flame and took him for a walk outside before bringing him back and trying him up.
I groomed him well and began to teach him how to pick up his feet so when it was time to call the farrier, he would be ready. He did really well. He wasn't sure what I wanted but he tried. I gave him a treat and got Dutchess out and took her for a walk. I brought her back and groomed her.
I gave her a treat and put her away. Next I got Sparkle out and took her for a walk. I groomed her and then put her in her stall. I gave her a treat before grooming courage and tacking him up. I led him out to the ring and lunged him in each direction. He walked,troted,and cantered when I told him to. I then mounted him and hacked around the ring in each direction. Courage was his normal, good, self. I then Troted him over a line of ground poles. Courage didn't touch one. I then hoped off and put up a tiny cross rail. I remounted and let Courage sniff it. I then trotted him toward it. He sprang over it. "Wow!" I heard Holly say. He could've jumped that jump!" holly said and she pointed to a 4 foot green roll top jump. I troted it once more and cooled Courage out. I then untacked him and put him away. I gave him a treat and said Good bye to my horses. I then took Holly to Timeless Farm to ride Mini
