Today, a family of grandmother, daughter, and grand daughter arrived to see the mustangs and the training we are doing with them. Some really nice people, and it's been very interesting talking to them. The grandmother worked for Nat Geo for many years, so when they drove by the petroglyphs on the way here, she of course had to stop by to take pictures! Hmm... I haven't even been up to see the petroglyphs yet! Supposedly the plan tomorrow is to take them to Crow Canyon, a few miles down the road (just past where we got stuck that one time and had to walk home...), where there are a bunch of pictographs and other ancient Native American rock art.
Grandma fell in love with Homer Simpson, the stocky black gelding who has just started his training. Their trip was supposed to be a shopping trip for 9 year old grand daughter Lily's new horse, but Teresa has fallen in love with Homer. They have their eye on Simon for Lily, but they don't want a horse until Lily's 10th birthday in March -- when Simon will be long gone; unless they work out some deal with John to reserve him and maybe pay for extra boarding/training or something. Not sure what's going to happen with that. Teresa also really loves the donkeys. I don't blame her, who could resist! We joked a little about how many animals we'd be able to fit in the trunk of her RAV4... :)
Tomorrow should be a fun day. It's late and I guess I should get some sleep - morning chores are getting long and hard with only 3 people and 59 animals... We should have a couple extra helping hands tomorrow morning though!
