Yesterday Don and I took Bernard, Ellsworth and Patrick to visit Carson and the herd at 7MSN.
Patrick hadn’t been loaded into a trailer since he came to Morning Bray Farm back in March, and we worried about how he would do.
Something I never told you is that Patrick’s former people used a cattle prod to trailer load him.
Well, world, I’m here to tell ya… Patrick don’t need no cattle prod to load into a trailer. Our fluffy boy walked right in.
I was so excited that he could be part of the adventure yesterday. So happy that he got to experience the beauty of life.
It was interesting how the addition of Patrick made things feel different. It felt like a herd this time. Just like that, the boys played and played.
The icing on the cake was my best ride yet on Big Red. Thanks to Carson and Lucy, Big Red and I learned a ton, gained confidence and had a blast.
We practiced a one-rein stop, we trotted, we loped and we maneuvered up and down and through and over various obstacles. Big Red was cooperative, willing and confident. Life was beautiful yesterday!
