Started the day by picking the 13 pens that get hand picked. (The other 7 get scraped with the tractor). I then made sure all of the pens had water, and cleared the horses out of the arena. Two of them went into their stalls, Imzadi I had to move to one of the hot wire pens. While I was working on this, the Ambrose's had a new horse arrive in the form of a young black-and-white paint filly aptly named Belle.
Melissa and Paul had to go somewhere, so I worked Quito for about an hour than tied him to the trailer. While I was saddling Kameeka, I noticed he was nervous, so I left him tied to the trailer until he calmed down. As I was getting ready to mount Kameeka, Paul and Melissa returned.
I worked Kameeka for an hour or so (it took her that long to calm down), then put her away. Quito was throwing a tantrum, so I left him at the trailer and walked around with Melissa and a couple of gals who had come out to see the horses.
After they left, we ate lunch and then I caught Kay. I didn't get to ride her, though. Karen showed up right about then to see her horses (she has two there) and work on Melissa. After she left, Paul rode Willie, practiced shooting, and then turned Belle and Dynamite out for the night.
