Four-Legged Therapy

Nothing makes me feel better than a wet nose; canine therapy is so effective. 

I took Tobi with me to the barn last night. Knowing that he was enjoying himself helped me to regain a little emotional balance. I also started to feel a bit more grounded in my reality (rather than the alternate one I'm being dragged into). Sorry to be so cryptic, but you never know who is reading or digging into your online life.

Nothing better than a canine smiling!

I also spent some time enjoying how each pony could roll in the arena with such pleasure and then buck and fart his way around in a mad gallop to nowhere. For a brief moment I considered trying out the process myself but decided I wouldn't be able to fart and run with such unabashed enthusiasm as they do.

I also took the time to hand graze each boy in the shade. Tobi enjoys these moments as he thinks the horses are just great big friendly dogs. Fortunately, my ponies find him completely unthreatening and allow him to occasionally lick their noses and bump them with his incessantly wagging tail.

This morning I am on a mission to shelve some of my worries and enjoy riding my boys. In the afternoon, we hope to make it out to the Greek Food Festival for a late lunch. I hear the beverages are also quite good. Let the weekend's fun begin!

Tobi loves beet pulp as much as Sydney and Speedy do.
