Today was another good day for a bath! 💦💦💦 Tulips and Poppy won the bath lottery today.

Beautiful Tulips was a very good girl today! She got her feet cleaned, a quick bath and fly sprayed - while standing quietly and tied to a post. (She’s not tied hard and fast - we use Blocker tie rings.) This was the first time she stood quietly for a bath while tied. Good girl, Tulips! 🌷It’s hard to remember she is only 15 months old!

The Ukrainian version of Poppy and Daisy’s book, and a piece of our hearts, is on its way to Ukraine with Nataliya today. Please continue to pray for peace in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 And pray for Nataliya, who is a physical therapist supporting children with special needs and their families in Ukraine during this terrible war. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 We are standing with you, Nataliya!

This little donkey is being such a good patient she gets rewarded with her own private walkabout in the evening. She’s getting three different nasty tasting medicines shoved into her mouth every day and she’s still so cooperative and sweet. (Of course, if she would just eat the meds in a little bit of grain, we wouldn’t have to sq**rt them in her mouth. But that’s her choice. 😜)

It’s been over 100 for three days in a row, so the ponies haven’t been turned out for three days. We decided to turn them out today - even though it was 105 degrees. And they were a bit nutso! They didn’t care how hot it was, all they wanted to do was run and buck and play with whatever they could get in their mouths!

Yesterday was a good day for some splash pad practice in Leadership 2 Partnership. Hands free by Poppy; right side by Daisy; while wearing a tarp by Nyki and learning to not rush by Gigi. A good day!
