I’m back! Let’s go out again!
I thought something was up, and I was right! Yesterday I thought I was going to just get treats in the trailer again. Well, I did get treats for getting in, but then we went someplace. It was far, and the ride was hot, even with all the windows and air blowing around. We went out to a place I’d been once before, but this time we stayed all night, until the next day.
We didn’t go out away from the ranch, just walked around the place the day we arrived, then rode around on the second day. It was fun, and I got a lot nose pats and my human said “Good Rainy!” a lot, which is always nice. I did a lot of things:
- Stayed all night in a corral (under huge oak trees).
- Met my corral neighbors and got along with them.
- Walked all around camp with my human. There were lots of horses and trailers, and lots of humans and trucks. Nothing was very scary, but I had to stop and look at things. This is all new, but I’m very brave!
- Walked right past a mounted deer head without a second glance. (Poor deer.)
- Let my human ride me at a walk and trot with just a halter, bareback.
- Saw some horses on the other side of huge iron gate! I thought they crimals or something! I snorted real hard at them, to let them know how big I was! Then one of their humans opened the gate, and when they walked through I could see they were just regular horses, so I calmed down.
- Went out all by myself, with my human, on a dirt road, and didn’t even think about looking back. I wanted to go somewhere!
My human spent the night in my trailer, in the back where I go. I guess that’s OK, because she took all the stuff out and put my hay back before we came home.
I stayed up all night playing grabby-face with my neighbbors Casey and Gus. The humans and the other horses all said Gus was mean, but he’s really not if you know how to get along. Gus and I are friends now.
Tonight my human was doing stuff with my trailer, and I thought we might be going out again, or maybe just playing the click-and-treat game. I stood right at the gate, with my head over it, to make sure I didn’t miss out on anything.
I’m tired! After I eat dinner I think I’ll lie down and sleep a lot tonight. It was a big adventure. I want to go again! Next time I’m going to march right out on those trails and have a grand time.
