Wonderful couple of weeks have gone by. I missed a weekend at the ranch while I was visiting my favorite family in Bonsall, close to San Diego, for a long weekend. And if you would never believe that I could have fun without my horses, well, I had a fantastic time! I had a special spa treatment. We had coffee at the famous Hotel Del Coronado. We went to the beach, had Hot chocolate at the Pannikin (my favourite.) I got to watch Daniel at the art of fencing. And Just hang out with my favourite people in the world; Heather Daniel and Isabelle. Certainly I missed Madeira, but she is always in good hands when I'm away.


Well Back at the ranch this past weekend Madeira and Steal got their hooves trimmed, and Little Candy too received a special, complimentary trim from our trimmer.
Her hooves were curving up badly and I had been asking for the ranch shoer to trim her for the last two months, in vain.
Afterwards we all went for a walk, Candy in tow.




Virpi rode Steal on the way out just a little. He is doing well and can be ridden slow at walk for short distances now.

Beverly came along with Cruiser. His main agenda was to get as much of green grass on the way as possible.

On the back gate we met Irene walking Jet.
















And White Chocolate and Fire came to greet us over the pasture fence.

Afterwards we all hung out in the arena, including Baby.
Baby is such a big "horse" now. She wants to be part of the herd so badly, and she is so curious about the other horses. We can't of course leave them in without supervision, although baby is very respectful of her elders, and moves out of their way quicker than they can think. But as long as the humans are in charge, the horses won't have to challenge each other.






I did let Baby say Hi to Madeira. Madeira is so gentle and loving.









Steal in the other hand was jealous when his human was playing with the little rascal.

But the baby can Fly!
It's as is she's got wings...

Baby had to leave the arena before Tuff came in though.

But we let then socialize over the fence.
