Twas a good one :~D

Tweek followed me into the barn when I went out to feed breakfast, and she was 'xplorin' around... she's been spending a lot of time out there during the day when the horses are out, I've seen her coming in and out of there.

So when I opened the lid of the grain bin, Cyn let out this big low "Muhuhuhuhuhuh" and Tweek just hit the deck! Flat cat! She was looking all around for what might have made a growl like that, but she was looking in her little low world.... she didn't look "up".

Hey, I have to brag a bit:), please forgive but this is really exciting to me.

I just got in from working Harley, only time today I can see where I would be able too. Any today, I tied a plastic bag on the hard end of the lunge whip. I didn't take the camera out with me today, 1. it's misting very hard, not sure how much wet they can tolerate, 2. I wasn't sure how the horse would act and I might not be able to take pictures with the new stuff going on.

BUT, he was great. He flinched and jumped around a bit, but I reached out with it and laid it on the ground, and he cocked his head and looked at it then finally reached down to sniff it then wiggled his lip on it. I picked it up off the ground (it's very windy today), and let it blow in the wind, getting closer and closer to him with it, he flinched a few times then just stood there. Then I started touching it to his legs. He didn't like that at first, actually tried to jump it, but then got use to it and would stand and let me run it all over him, I let it blow all the way around his front and back legs, on his back, neck, face, butt. He was fine.

This horse just shows a good mind more and more, I'm slowly getting over being apprehensive about him being an idiot over stuff.

Any, we lunged and did all the routine I've been working on the last few days, and he was picture perfect. Trotted, loped, whoaed on command, even went from a lope back to the trot on command. Just did really well:) ~big smile~

That's really funny about Tweek! Cats are so goofy when they get spooked.
