Deets and Woodrow, our 5yo NV Mustang boys, an appy and a silver bay, earned their roommate privileges yesterday. They were in a pen together when we picked them up and are really good friends, zero drama and personalities that mesh well.

Yesterday was Lorena’s – 2yo Twin Peaks, CA Mustang filly, adopted – first time in hobbles. It was a non-event. She’s comfortable with leading by a foot, having her feet handled and she’s been trimmed. When I put the hobbles on towards the end of our session and rewarded her for putting up with it, …
