His New “Lady” Friend

Lucky Star and Lady traveled together about an hour to take a Friday evening and Saturday morning group lesson with Jenny Vaught. Lucky and Lady stayed the night in a glorious small pasture. I don't know when the magic moment happened for Lucky Star. When morning broke in the cool light of the new day, Lucky Star made it known that Lady belonged to him.

Lucky Star continues to amaze. He knocked over this tub and stepped in it. All I asked is that he move forward. I thought he would go around the tub. We were standing next to the tub.
