Good Momma

 We have a storm rolling in tonight, so baby's first time stretching his legs was this afternoon.  I took him and Momma to the arena to give them a chance to get out of the stall and check out the great big world.  Momma is not really halter trained, but she followed me with my handful of hay from the stall to the arena, nickering at Baby to come with her.  He was a little skeptical about leaving the safety of the stall, and hesitated in the doorway not wanting to put his feet on the dirt after being on straw for 3 days.  My working student was able to coax him out, and we got him safely to the arena.  Momma was so careful, keeping an eye on him all the time, but never stressing or worrying about how we carefully guided him. A short video of her snuggling Gibson can be seen here.
