The Geldings Enjoy Horse Expo

 Highboy and Obie were roommates when Obie was here for training last fall, and they hadn't seen each other since Obie went home in December so this was a happy reunion for them.

This is Highboy's characteristic gesture, indicating that he is READY to frolic and wrestle

Highboy thought the entire horse expo was THE MOST FUN he has ever had.  The first day he could barely contain himself there were so many exciting things to look at, horses of all shapes and sizes, new people, reunions with old friends.  Each day he got a little quieter and more mannerly, with less attempted frolicking on the end of the lead rope.  I think this weekend was a good indication that Highboy will love traveling to shows. 

There was a round pen just outside the main arena, which Highboy enjoyed for turnout a couple times

Highboy and I were playing in the arena underneath the vendor area.  He thought the bridge was fun, but spent a LONG time taking in the view from way up on top.

Garmin of course enjoyed some hand walking and turnout as well.  Sometimes I wonder if he gets sick of random strangers approaching his stall and squealing, "he's so CUUUTE!"  But he always goes to the front of the stall to greet every single person who does it.
