With Greg

Today, my whole family joined me at Gwen's for some horse time. Zeek went to try his new saddle, and Greg went to watch his boy ride. 

We had such a nice time. Zeek did his second round of ground work with Gwin. Then he rode her for about 25 minutes. We started a fun game for him to have a goal in his riding. I set up different things on the end of posts around the round pen. Then he had to go to each thing, pretending they were calfs, and "drive" them all into the same corner. It was fun.

Greg really enjoyed Gwin. He kept saying how big she is, and how beautiful. 

My favorite part was when I put her in the stall, closed it up, and then went into it with her to groom and give her medicine. Greg was freaked out and said, "You're going IN there with her!!!" And then, after about 10 minutes, while I was picking her hooves out, he said, "I could have married someone who was at the salon this morning, getting her hair and nails done. Instead, my wife is in jean shorts with socks and cowgirl boots, squatting next to a 1200 lb. animal in a 10x10 enclosed area"  

So funny.

I never really think about how much of a farm guy he is not. Today, I got to see it all first hand. And I guess, so did he! :)
