This morning, almost noon, it got so hot. I let all the horses out in front and started bathing them all to cool them, I hosed Traveller down first. Two horses later I look and Traveller is standing on the other side, enjoying where the water was accidentally landing on him. Then he came around the other side and got closer and closer all nonchalant until he was so close he was making GB at the cross ties nervous. So I turned and sprayed him to make him move off a little actually, but that was what he wanted, and he would turn this way and that, turn his rear, turn to face me and lift his head so I could do his chest :) It was really nice. he came back three more times. He really enjoys water...
also, I am enjoying all the fun things I can say after wetting Tivar... because like clockwork he will not walk three steps before he drops and rolls even tho still on the lead. So I told my husband, here, and untied tivar and gave him the lead. I said "watch it its kinda slippery there i wouldnt want him to fall down..." and my husband leads him three steps and goes Heyhey! Hey he's falling down!" hahahaha. i gotta think of some more ways to get fun mileage outa this one with people. Like "hey, would you mind holding my horse? be careful tho he has seizures...""or hey, watch this," and point at him and go " play dead". or I could point at him and go "would you rather be a walking horse or dead" and then he would go down with his feet in the air... I could film it for funniest animal videos... Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
