I Am NEVER Going to Get Caught Up!

So, so much stuff has happened with Skeeter and just like my journaling fell off, so did my blog posting.  ARGH!

Here are the highlights of what she's learned since she came home on May 8th:

• Haltering

• Leading
• first inside her gentling pen, then
• outside of her gentling pen in the big pen, then
• outside of the big pen, in the big old world

• Stand (this is a constant work in progress)
• Grooming
• Fly spray (mostly, I've only done it while at liberty)
• letting other people handle her
• "hooking up" with whoever is in charge
• Peek-A-Boo with Grandpa Beel
• Standing tied

• short periods of time outside the gentling pen

• turn-out 24/7
• the water hose is fun

• no more gentling pen at all - she's graduated! 

In fact, we took down her pen just yesterday.  She's so curious and unafraid that she decided she would "help" us take down her pen.

Whatcha doin' Dad?

Lookin' good, Dad.  Keep up the good work.

Tonight, we're bringing in hay.  She'll have to put together everything she's learned while we unload.  She's going to have to stand tied at the trailer while we open the panels, drive the truck in, unload, drive the truck out and reattach the panels.  Tonight is truly going to be a test for her - hopefully, she'll pass with flying colors.
