It was a good weekend at the ranch. A lot of time was spent playing with the fillies. They're all so personable you get mauled for attention. They follow you around the pasture like you're the Pied Piper of Fillydom. Blondi & Filly are so good about being haltered, even in pasture. Grey Girl needs a little more work but she's so sweet & curious it won't be long before she can be haltered in pasture as well.
Sunday morning was trim day for Filly. In preparation for the trimmer, the mares & fillies were run into a smaller pasture that is next to CMK's garden. When watering the garden the pasture also gets watered so there's a nice patch of grass. Boy did those mares & fillies enjoy the nice, green grass. When it was time for Filly's trim, they were called to the gate with Filly last to arrive. She's such a princess that the mommies & babies just parted to let her pass through to the front. What a good girl she was for her trim. She behaves better than most adult horses. Trimmer said her feet are getting better & looking good. Woohoooooo...
Filly has really become quite the bossy baby. She was caught pinning her ears at Blondi on Sat. Not only did she pin her ears flat, but she bared her teeth & in slow motion she reach over & bit Blondi on the withers. Did she learn this from Mommy & Baby Dearest? Oh what an ugly faceshe was making. When the first bite didn't move Blondi enough, Filly then bit her in the butt. OUCH! Blondi had to jump out of the way. Filly is becoming quite the little alpha mare.
