JR’s Journal – First Day of School

 

JR is a coming 3 years old. It is time for him to go off to kindergarten. I waited till late Sunday afternoon and bundled him up in the trailer for the trip to Pine Dell farm…7 miles away. Velvet was told that she would have to give up her stall for the time being and become a pasture horse. Velvet thought that was great, until she realized that her personal food service delivery had ended!
 

 

I put JR in his stall and gave him hay. I petted him and rubbed him all over. I was finally forced to leave by a husband impatient for his supper at a local restaurant. After we ate, I asked if we could just run by Pine Dell and see how JR was doing. I was told “NO”! sigh

The next afternoon I eagerly went to Pine Dell to see JR. He looked fine. His attitude was fine. I got him out and groomed him until he gleamed with good health.

Jenny came by and told me that she had sat on JR this day! WOW! This is not a normal occurrence. Usually, the ground games have to be done and the emergency bend has to be installed in the horse before Jenny will actually get on and sit up there! But, all the ground games were already done by me, and I was thrilled to know that JR and I had passed!

JR got an A+ for his first day!
