LOL...they’re hard customers:)

He said they are too prone to try fads, to change what they want to often, to even change farriers for no reason just because someone who is winning commented on their farrier being good. I can see his point, and agree with what he said.

Kristy thinks she’s going to have to find a new farrier in the near future, her’s is talking about quitting. She wants me to tell my farrier Rowdy is just a new horse I got:)...I’ll probably have to do the same with Dot when Jenny starts riding again:) I won’t feel bad about that, one I consider all those horses mine in one sense...and two, my girls are not like the typical barrel racers in this area, they have some sense. Both the girls and Charlie have been as impressed as I have been over the huge improvement in Harley. I don’t think I’ve commented lately, but his feet, particularly his frog is looking so much more healthy...I didn’t expect shoeing to make that much change in that area, especially so fast. His whole foot just looks better, even in this the sixth week. My farrier comes this Fri. I’m thinking of having a surprise party for my new hero to show my appreciation:)

Another subject jump here, but yesterday you had commented on how Hope appeared to be lightening up so I took some pics of the whole crew yesterday evening.

This is Miss Ellie, the soon-to-be 2yr old. She's the whitest of the bunch right now, but also the most moth-eaten looking. She was much darker this winter, but all the dark shed out first and left the white, and it's coming out by the handfulls now and is an incredible mess when it gets on your clothes. She was playing with a leak in the hose when I took this one...

This is Hope. She's shedded out much slicker on her shoulders and around the hip but still has big patches of white left on her. She took the hose leak away from Ellie...

And Bob just had to get in on the hose action. You just can NOT operate a water hose around these three without them demanding to be sprayed. They'll get right in your face. I've never seen anything like it!...
