Dear Diary,
I can’t decide if I was more surprised yesterday or today.
Yesterday we went for a ride. It was fun…until we got near these GIANTS. At least that is what I thought they were at first. But then I figured out it was just a huge wall. I think it was a can-yin like my mom told me about when I was a foal. I kept expecting to see some relatives but I didn’t. There were little bits of grass that were REALLY tasty – and – a couple that I wish I hadn’t tried. They were pokey and tasted bad.

Then today was a totally different kind of strange. Mom put me in a trailer that was great because it had alfalfa hay. I love alfalfa hay. Then some, well, strange looking guy jumped in beside me. I tried not to stare at him. I know it is rude…but his EARS WERE HUGE! I finally snuck a peek at him and found that he was staring at me. I guess he is OK. He didn’t mess with the alfalfa so I was happy.
Well, time for bed. I’m still tired from yesterday.
I wonder what will happen tomorrow.

Riders often encounter self-doubt, fear, anxiety, frustration, and other challenging emotions at the barn. The emotions coursing through your body can add clarity, or can make your cues indistinguishable for your horse.

Newt and the mule look like real great friends! Does the mule have a name?
His name was Pistolero:)
Excellent!
Seeing a mule cannot even compare with Janeece seeing his first camel; it was bad enough smelling it, but when he saw that camel, he was never the same; he didn’t miss a thing in the trail class, did everything just exactly as he was supposed to, but he did not take his eyes off the camel. The judges were laughing, I was laughing, and said; “go ahead and mark him off, he just say his first camel.
That did say “crack me up” until my smarter than me auto correct changed it! Lol
Oh Newt, you car me up! Lol
Newt, I sure hope you’ll fill us in on comparison training notes with your new friend! ..waiting with bated breath 🙂
I love Newt’s stories….he is just a all round interesting when he does a commentary.
The horse I am leasing hates mules. I didn’t know this until we came across them on a trail ride. The only way we got past them was sticking his nose into his friend’s butt. He still snorted long after we were past them.
Newt says..Holy crap what is that…love the first pic..see you you can’t judge a book by it’s cover….
That was so cute…………
Newt, you are a hoot… would toss you a peppermint if I could…
Newt, your expression in the first pic is too dang funny!
