Rip had his second outing yesterday ❤️
He was INCREDIBLE!
He hopped on our trailer and we headed over to Betsy’s (Church & Scotty’s foster mom). He unloaded and then hopped on to Betsy’s trailer with Arthur (whom he has never met mind you), and the four of us headed to Jared’s.
Now if you didn’t know…Arthur is one of the horses from the baby save in Nov 2023. He was the smallest and quietest of the bunch. It took a few weeks for him to pay , or really accept/attention to me (his baby pictures are below).
Well, that’s no longer the case for sure. He’s a big boy, playful, animated, and snuggly. I was so impressed by him yesterday. He stood patiently while Rip had his lesson. Went through some obstacles, and was intriduced to the fog machine, which was quite comical. Betsy has done a wonderful job with him and I am blessed to be able to watch him grow first hand.
Rip hung out and had lunch while Arthur had his lesson, then they hopped back on the trailer and we headed back to Betsy’s. There Rip switched trailers again and home we went.
I may be crazy but I feel like I see a little change in him. He seems quieter, a little more at peace. He’s still pi**ed about the diet but that seems fair. I think he likes his toys, and his new space. We also added h**p at dinner time and that seems relax him at night. He’s not plowing me down in the morning anymore.
To say I’m in awe of him is understatement. His ability to adapt is so impressive. So what if he needs a little help along the way. It’s intriguing to me, and in no way a burden. His resiliance is beautiful and I am so very proud to be in his life.
Good job today boys ❤️
Oh and ps…Little was in a mood and couldn’t decide between getting on the trailer or staying back with Beth, who was not happy Rip was leaving…she choose to stay…she’s a pretty good friend 🐴 🐐w
