The winter solstice is near but some of the days are still clear and cool and just right for a run in the open field. Yesterday when the photo was taken, Bonnie Blue felt so good she could not resist the urge to run, kick and buck in the cool wind in the hay field.

The last few days Bonnie Blue has been testing the social order of the creatures here at the farm. Without question she is above all of the dogs and cats and she chases them around at will. She also has been testing the humans. So far, the humans have held their ground and refuse to be scared off by her running near them on occasions. In fact they  stood their ground and even make horse frighting gestures. But a horse has to check occasionally just to make sure she is not missing a chance to be the leader of the farm herd.

At now almost five months after she came to live with us, it is hard to believe the wonderful recovery she has made in both body and spirit. She continues to be a blessing to us every day.
