Our First Dance
November 27
I was determined that today I would have time / make time to work with my horse. After shopping the Black Friday sales and going to get another hay roll for the horses, we were finally home and I went out to see if Astar would spend time with me.
Even with a brand new hay roll, he was still interested! As soon as I walked in the gate, he lifted his nose out of the fresh hay roll and looked at me, he asked me the question — do you want to hang out? I said, of course! and walked over to join up with him. We then walked into the round pen together… WOW! That was easy!
So as of today, it has been 2 consistent weeks that he has decided within less than 10 minutes he wants to spend time with us rather than doing whatever he was doing at the time…. that is awesome! We’re getting back to where we were a year ago and he’s starting to remember the good times we’ve had.
With all of that said, my favorite part of today’s time with Astar is that I danced with my horse! It was so wonderful and I could almost feel him smiling as much as I was. He was totally with me! What do I mean by dancing? Well, I was walking in tight circles like a figure eight and then moving back and forth… and he was coming right along with me….It was so magical that I’m going to see if I can video it!!
I love Astar… then again, I always have!
