On July 26^th 2014, Bonnie Blue celebrated her second year with us here at the farm. For the occasion we all had watermelon to eat. The horses played under the water from the garden hose. The day was hot so the water spray was extra nice.

Both horses are the picture of health, about the ideal weight, no skin or hoof problems and serviced by two humans who love them way too much (if that is possible). Sox has turned brown once again but this time with a hint of dapples on his rump. Bonnie remains the slick chestnut with the long mane. A few gray hairs have started to appear in that mane but she is otherwise only changed for the better in the two years here.

Sox 07/26/2014

It is hard to believe how completely these two have woven their lives into ours. I look forward to working with them every day. Never knowing what antics the two of them may be up to on any given day.  At least twice a week Sox will pull down the down spout from the stall and play with it. Sometimes he will carry the 10 foot section around in his mouth like a baton, leaving it far from the stalls. Some mornings they are standing together in a stall eating hay side by side. The next day Bonnie may be after Sox with her mouth open, ears back and reaching to try to bite him on the butt as he runs away at full speed.  There is rarely a dull moment with the two of them. They are always just horses but they are always just wonderful to watch and learn from. They are a blessing to our lives.
