It's been crazy-busy at our house lately (no surprise there!) so we haven't had much opportunity to take advantage of Curly's new-found soundness. Just had time to go out to the barn and clean, check on the big guy, give him a rub and a pat and then hop back in the truck to head to the next commitment. I'm tired.....
Anyway, one of our 4-H friends has a little sister (also in the 4-H group) whose horse has contracted pigeon fever. This has been kind of hard for them because both girls want to ride (duh!) but being one horse down, only one can. So last night as they were heading off to their lesson - with one horse and two riders - I offered the use of Curly. As soon as they left I was grumping that I wanted to ride my horse!
Plus, we are going on a family trip over the holiday, and during our vacation the club will be doing a toy drive/trail ride. Our little friend will get to use Curly for that as well....I'm pretty jealous.
But I'm sure Curly is going to enjoy the new activity.
