Rabbit (That's Me!)

Ok, not the two-legged ones, but the 4-legged ones! Today was a banner day for Corky, my yearling filly. She got her first bath! She raced around me in circles while I chased her with a hose at first, but then she finally gave in and stood nice and quiet while I shampooed and rinsed her (I used Suave shampoo...makes her smell so good!). Then I put her first sheet and hood on. She was a bit startled by the sheet going over her head, but she couldn't care less once it was on...same with the hood (even stood patiently while I struggled to put her ears in the correct holes!). I was anticipating a day of major battles, and in reality we had a nice, quiet day! What a great surprise. She shows all the makings of a great future show horse.

Her future as a show horse actually starts tomorrow, when (weather permitting) I will haul her to show in her very first longe line class. Wish us luck!
