. . . and the winner is Liz from In Omnia Paratus! Congrats! This time I used random.org to pick the winner since I stayed home sick from work. Enjoy the fleece cooler! Thank you again to Horze.com for letting me host another giveaway! They are a ton of fun to do.
What are Shyloh and the minions looking at?
Whatever it is, it has caused them to run up. . .
and down. . .
Whatever it is, it has Shy's nostrils flared and her tail carried high (for her).
What could it be that has channeled Shy's inner Arabian?
Why. . .
It's just Gunny getting hooked to the cart for the first time!
He did very good in the round pen. Did I ever mention that this is a draft sized round pen? It is pretty huge for Shy and the minions. A short and sweet lesson was had. Until the decision was made to drive Gunny back to the barn. Then disaster was had. . .Gunny made the decision to fully gallop to the back fields. It was not pretty, but he was calmed down and was brought back to the round pen for another lesson. We must end on a good note. And he did.
I am pretty sure Shy was sending Gunny telepathic messages to be bad, hence the staring and running. She was probably thinking. . .not another equine being trained to drive, oh bother! Or not, but either way, it was less than exciting the whole time Shy and the minions were worked up. Usually she does not care for that length of time about what goes on around her. Searching for food is her main goal in life. It was funny to watch her though!
Poor Gunny has to start earning a living and Shy is screaming at him "Get out NOW before it's too late!!"
ReplyDeleteYes she is! And she has her minions in on her evil ways :)
DeleteLOL! Silly Shyloh!! Gunny is so cute hooked up to the cart. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats Liz!!
He is cute, that's for sure. He needs more controlled environment time, as Kyle learned the hard way . . .
DeleteSQUEEEEE. I've squeed a lot about this in the last couple hours. And now I'm finally at a computer...thus...SQUEE!
ReplyDeleteAlso. For further emphasis, Shy + minions photo at beginning is basically the greatest photo ever. I can't get over it.
I wish I had a clear photo, they were so funny! I couldn't decide who I wanted to watch more, the hinny being broke to cart or Shy and the minions. They did whatever she did. Congrats!
DeleteI love how Shy is between the minions in each photo!
ReplyDeleteThey look up to her and feed off of her, only Meatball is so fast, he always ends up in front.
DeleteOh, and glad the disaster wasn't truly terrible and ended on a good note.
ReplyDeleteAh Gunny is a long ears - no further explanation needed ;-) from zero to hero in a flash sounds sooo familiar (shall I be donkey or horse today? frozen or full speed!) Can't wait to hear how he gets on, love the pictures, too cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly right! We were guessing when he was switching in his head from donkey to horse, you could see it in his eyes!
DeleteAbsolutely love that first picture with the drafts in the background and Shy between her minions, priceless.
