A little sub-herd.

Haha meanwhile my new dog vet needs 2 assistants to hold down my chihuahuas.😆

I understand that there is always more than we see, but ... we're seeing this, which leads me to question why the person videoing chose to keep filming, instead of putting the camera away and helping by holding the foal, so that the vet doesn't need to grapple it to the ground. What has been gained by filming this? The foal could have had a normal experience, without the twisting of the tail and neck, where it remained on its feet and was not brought down like a prey animal about to be devoured - but instead, this is one of its early experiences of veterinary work and human handling. Sure, it's young, and may bounce back just fine, physically and emotionally, but this would not be my preferred choice for doing a blood draw.

I love cruising along single track trails so much

This was also an inaugural ride for the scoot boots I got her - I'm not convinced they'll work yet. She knocked one of them off at a gallop and they did twist over some intense terrain. I'll give them another few goes before I call it and try another type of boot

Sierra on another stunning Mojave morning.

I had to stop Sierra (who was very impatient to keep going) for a few moments just to take it all in. It really was beautiful this morning. Things like this are the counter-balance to the brutal triple digit temps in the afternoon.

Dancing feet.

My blood pressure crashed repeatedly during Abba's clip, so that at one point I was sent into the club house to sit down, which seems to have meant that the mares had no interest in playing games in the field with me afterwards; they preferred to huddle together and look over their shoulders at me instead, as though discussing how best to keep me conscious long enough to feed them.

Don't worry, she's gonna get 'em

Amba seemed to admire the views too.
