Another week under the belt

nomnomnom

Yesterday was Seamus' third week with me so tonight I got some progress pics to share. Sorry 'bout the muddy feet and legs, but it's been raining here for the last 36 hours straight and the paddock is more of a mud skating rink right about now... if it weren't for his blanket he would be covered head to toe! The mares actually are covered in mud despite blankets- I didn't get their Highnesses in quick enough for their liking so they started tearing about the paddock at high speed and bucking and skidding all over *sigh* Needless to say, they came in looking more like zombies than my usual beautiful little mares. Seamus was smart and tried to stay out of their way, mostly succeeding, at least until Sugar got after him causing him to trot down the fenceline... I think that's the fastest I have seen him move so far! They were all quite ready to run in the barn and get out of the rain for the night once I let them out of the paddock.





Seamus also got a new blanket tonight. Our wonderful COTHer, SonnysMom sent us yet another blanket! She purchased it on deep discount for her own horse but it was too small and he only wore it once. SM allowed me to purchase this gorgeous, brand-new Centaur blanket for what she paid (an absolute STEAL) and it's fits Seamus wonderfully so he no longer looks quite like a refugee :)

Seamus being very reflective
