We had a very busy, but fun day here. Runa got to do her first pony ride, and it was a non-event. She was totally cool with it, like she'd done it all her life. I led Shirley for maybe 5 minutes, and that was enough for today. Since I was leading and Cary wasn't around, there are no pictures.
Then, the farrier came, and he gave most of the horses their trims. Angie got her first trim here. It seemed to surprise her to see all the stalls full of horses - usually it's just her and one or two others when she comes in. Today, though, there was a full house, and then she'd never seen the farrier here. She reverted slightly to her original wide-eyed look of concern, but she didn't jump or startle even once. Cary led her on the lead line in the aisle while Marcus trimmed Loftur (who, ironically, was my wide-eyed rehab three and a half years ago, but is now cool as a cucumber) and then she had her turn. It was almost like she was relieved to see that was all that was up, because once he started trimming, she looked more relaxed and business-like. All in all, I was very proud of her. We've had rain this week (remind me not to whine, since we've had such a drought), and it's supposed to rain again tomorrow. Hopefully, I can get some pics of Runa under saddle soon.
