Sunday Stills-People

This week our Sunday Stills was people, well there are not a lot of people in my area, but I luckily went to the Calgary Stampede this year and there is always lots of people there.  Like the kids (and parents) watching Thomas the Tank Engine on the Coca Cola Stage.

And just walking around the midway was busy, although since we went on Thursay in the daytime it was les busy than a weekend or any evening.

And of course we saw cows, and we did see a horse but he was chasing my nephews around to get there candy apples.

And there is everything there, even creepy crows.

All in all lots of people, weather dressed up or just dressed for summer or dressed for Stampede.  For more go to Sunday Stills.

Wordless Wednesday

Jamaica

Well after my Saturday post and Fernvalley's comment, I got thinking all weekend about Jamaica.  And she is right about the safe place for him.  But he is comfortable anywhere I am as long as I am not touching him.  I knew this too, he has never really been comfortable with my touch, so I went out and just rubbed him all over and over and over again until he was relaxed with that.  I started with his withers and chest moved to his legs and belly and face, no specific spot seemed to bother him more than the rest so I just kept scratching till he was okay and even enjoyed it.   Always before I would wait till he let me scratch him and I called it good. But he never was relaxed or accepting of my touch, he just put up with it cause it was only gonna be a second or so.

Well it must have worked cause yesterday I walked right up to him and his rope was over his neck and I scratched him the fixed the rope and he just stood there and licked his lips!  I was so happy with him and this all took only like 30 seconds.  I think I messed up before but we maybe have it figured out.  Whew.  I knew something was missing but I didn't clue in.  I should have realized, but he never reacted negativly so I thought he was okay with it.  Skipping steps, should never happen even if the horse is quiet.  I know that too just forgot I guess. That why I like being at Jardi's, cause there is always someone around who will give and idea of something that might work, but now I got blog friends too :)  Now we can really accomplish stuff like getting his feet trimmed and gelding and hopefully he will be able to get out of the corral soon.

Sunday Stills--The Letter F

This week our Sunday Stills was anything that starts with the letter F.  So of course what else could I do but my foal, actually my Filly Foal.  So perfect!

These are the pics I think I am gonna send in for her registration.  I should have done it before but all the pics I had of her were in tall grass where you could hardly see her legs, so I finally got a few in short grass.

Its so much fun taking pics of her cause she wants to be afraid but is waaay to curious to hide for too long, especially when her momma is busy doing something else.

I actually scratched her bum the other day when I was going to catch Razz, she was standing between Razz and Jazz and so i scratched Jazz and moved over to her and she turned around and looked at me and I think she kinda liked it and then eventually she walked away.  I was suprised she was so calm about it, but everyone is itchy, so I shouldn't have been cause they were all crowding around wanting scratches.
