Our filly Joy gets a morning back rub. She is a very tame little girl. She seeks me out for attention.
She is almost a month old already. She has been tied, led and even had her first trailer ride. She is a trusting baby who loves to be petted and made over.
Magee, is in the background. She is a year old now. She and 2-year old Grace keep Joy and Abby company. They all stay together and come when called. Joy has a big girl attitude with lots of sass. She is a “joy” to be around! We spend time together daily.
Bree, in the photo above is doing well with her training too. She is doing meaningful work. Here she drags the garden. She has hauled manure in the noisy manure spreader three times now. She isn’t bothered by the loud, squeaky machine anymore. She just gets right in to her collar and pulls with whichever teammate she is with. I am pleased with her progress so far.
