Secrets~~That's My World for 040709

When I arrived to the ranch on Saturday, there was a whole lotta whispering and nuzzling goin' on! Sunni and Beauty were quietly whispering and I'm SURE they were plotting something like how to get into the carrots bag! Here's the evidence~~That's My World for Tuesday, April 7, 2009.

Scout's mane

Scout was a real hog the other day when I went to brush the other horses and she finally got her turn to be groomed! She basically followed me around until I brushed her! Little hog! She doesn't have much of a mane and it's very scraggly. And, look at her spots!

Gigo's mane

Last week I showed you Cali's beautiful mane and yesterday I went up and brushed Scout and Gigondas. I actually cleaned out 3 corrals AND brushed Cali and Gigo! Phew! Gigo is a "Cali redhead", like my mom, grandmother, and aunt (all redheads!) HA! Anyway, look at her mane! She's managed to rub off some spots. Scout has the thinnest mane of all our horses and I'll post some pics of hers this week. Here's Gigo...See, she is a redhead! I'm hoping to give them all a bath next weekend, since that will be the beginning of my spring break!

carrot day ~~Camera Critters for 040409

I brought carrots for the horses last weekend and Beauty, who is always on carrot alert, immediately KNEW what was in the bag! She quickly thrust her nose into the plastic bag and demanded carrots! Sunni watched her shenanigans quietly from afar. Silly girl! Carrots are for geldings! Every horse got a small bag of carrots, which I noticed were harvested in the Coachella Valley, not far from my school. And, they were organic ones, at that! Soon the slurping and crunching began! Aren't some of her expressions cute? She's very expressive!

Beauty in late afternoon light~~SkyWatch Friday

After Beauty's antics last weekend (see previous post), I wasn't sure what to post today. I looked through my pics and found one of her the previous week, when we drove up one afternoon. Afternoon light is so beautiful. It has a nice, dark tinge and I LOVE the long shadows!

Beauty

Last weekend, while all the brushing, grooming, and feet liftin' was goin' on, Beauty was quite bored. No, really. Here's the proof! "HEY, MOM! Don't forget about me! I'm over heeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeee!"

Gigondas gets a good grooming! (alliteration)

I got some pics of hubby and Gigondas on Saturday. Brush, brush, brush...sigh, sigh, sigh. She stood absolutely still for him! I was in there cleaning out her corral. (I got the "dirty" job!) Hmmmppffff! Oh, well! I got to brush Cali! Here are some pics of hubby with "his girl".
