The weather at the Farm has just NOT been delightful for some time now. This has not really contributed in a positive manner to the moods of the kids or the critters!  Last week the high school kids returned to the farm after a couple weeks of missing out due to strong storms.  They each fetched their horses, groomed them and headed for the arena for some drill team work on the ground.  Our chief BG was having a really difficult time with her horse, Keosha.  They are fast friends but today Keosha continually nipped at her hand and was generally uncooperative until she dissolved in tears.  She exclaimed “She doesn’t like me anymore.”  We explored why that might be when BG stated “I’m in a bad mood.”  Keosha loves being in relationship and it did not take long for her to let BG know she was not holding up her end of this relationship.  BG’s desire for this relationship is strong and she immediately changed her attitude—This resulted in a complete change in Keosha.  They continued their work together like a real team – both smiling!  This high spirited Saddle Bred horse knows a bit about relationship and she is more than willing to share that knowledge with her favorite BG.
