Weather & Arabians...

Weather's been toying with us here for a couple of day's. Mist filled mornings where you cant see more than a couple of feet. Turns in to a pretty fair day around noon, some really heavy showers in the afternoon sprinkled in with hail and what not. It has been clearing up around suppertime to slide over to thunder and lightning during the nights. Weird!

Got to work the arabian mare some again last night. First I stand corrected as she's only 3 and not 5 as my first info suggested. Anyway she's not been exposed to much of anything so she's pretty raw. Worked her over with a rope and even put a girth on her while we were working.

She's got a temper let me tell ya! If she could growl I believe she would! After 15 minutes or so of bucking, kicking & biting she did give it up and found it easier to just stand quiet and let me flick that darn rope all over. Did some bending and flexing with her as well as turning with rope over hocks, pickin up feet etc. She was pretty docile when we were done as she had a lot to process. Pretty fun mare to work with but this project is gonna take some time.
