It was almost spring for a week or so. It was spring long enough that it rained and the front lawn began to green.
Then it snowed yesterday. Oops.
I went to the barn anyway. I got on the mare and realized that there may be an issue. She was quite tense and a little anxious. Then I realized that there was snow sliding off the roof. The plus side is that I wasn't tensing up while hearing the snow, so perhaps the mare's reaction was less, but still there was a reaction.
So I got off and lunged her for a few minutes and put her brain back into check. She did reasonably well after this, so I decided to end on a good note before more snow decided to make it's appearance.

I also went ahead and ordered a few older show photos of the filly.
So here she is in all her old weird baby glory.
Arabians take the fanciest show pictures ever.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I need more comparison there. The first 2 photos were taken in a photoshoot taken on the show grounds by the show photographer, but not in the ring. :) The ring shots were typical horse-on-triangle shots.
DeleteShe's not weird shes gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThanks L.
DeleteShe just looks so derpy sometimes.
She's like a little girl in a beauty pageant <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Madeline. Not a halter horse at all, but it was a fun experience to do with her!
DeleteThose headshots look like paintings - she is stunning!
