She got crazy zoomies after her bath, rolled in the dirt, and ran around the round pen for a few minutes before she wore herself out. She had a great time and lots of people really liked seeing her enjoying herself like that lol. This pic was taken a few hours later after she dried completely and I did her braids and brushed her.

She got really spicy when I tried to clean one of her back hooves and almost kicked me in the head. I gave her a lil smack on the butt (not hard at all) and yelled at her and she stopped misbehaving and let me clean her hoof. I think she might have a little bit of arthritis in that leg and that's what had her so uncomfortable until I was able to get her foot held and supported properly. If she continues to show that discomfort, I'll get some horse arthritis gel to try out.

I'm so happy you found each other!

Story time. I used to work with this guard dog, German Shepherd. He spent almost all of his time alone. When we first met I thought one of us was going to get hurt. Wasn't long till we were best friends. Almost every day I would spend at least an hour with him after work and several more with him while at work. He liked to chase the football around. Wasn't great at fetch but loved the tug-a-war. I miss that silly old beast. When I left the job I tried to get them to give me him. Wasn't successful though.

He and I came into each others lives at a time when we needed each other. I think much like you and Sandy did. Watching your stories unfold is wonderfully heart warming and I very much look forward to each new chapter!
