Yesterday, we moved the current trainees out of the training pens in preparation for the new kids.
 |
| Empty pens, ready for some new mustangs! |
Everybody seemed excited to go...we put some hay on the ground to entice them into coming to check out the stalls and the central space. They didn't need any extra encouragement!
 |
| Come on now, everybody line up to visit the main training space. |
I was also able to get some better close up shots of the boys, since they were much more comfortable with us.

| Alvin, with the crooked blaze and 1 blue eye |

| Archie |

| Simon -- wish this picture wasn't blurry!! |
 |
| Teddy, with McGraw in the back. |
The girls are also doing great. All the mares and little Bamm-Bamm are now coming right up to hang out and eat single bites of hay from our hands. Unfortunately, the mares won't be going into training for a while. We should be getting our next batch of mares early next week, and the Flintstone gang + Lazy Daisy will be very helpful in showing the new mares and foals that there is nothing weird about eating hay from the humans.

"It's breakfast time, we're hungry!" The picture doesn't show it really well, but
Daisy's legs are actually the same length (or shorter???) than baby Bamm-Bamm's! |
