Happy Birthday

Due to being busy on the 24th (Barry's birthday) I figured I'd give Bella attention on the 23rd.

I caught her (not difficult) and led her up the race. The other horses stayed in the paddock - Bella happily trundled up the race with me. She only stopped and didn't want to move when I wanted to lead her through the pen - fair call, it is rough underfoot and the other horses like to avoid the pen as well. I led her through the gate into the paddock and then into the yard.

She stood quietly when tied up - I flitted around gathering grooming gear and more importantly, the camera!

The neighbours were doing what probably was tree stump grinding but more realistically sounded like they were putting corrugated iron through a shredder. Bella couldn't have cared less, she was with her human. She is such a delight to work with.

I groomed her thoroughly which she loved then took some pics.

Afterwards mum measured her - approx 13.2hh so is on track to mature at least 15hh - yay!!
