Farm workdays and general handling skills

The last couple of days have been busy to say the least! We have several outdoors projects going on-some horse related, others not! Cece has been improving all the way around. She is so much better about me handling her feet and face. She is relaxed and enjoying her people time more and more each day. She is usually the first to greet me at the gate and is loving the fact that I am finally working all the mare besides newbie Brea onto grass!

Yesterday my husband spent some time with Brea. This picture was taken shortly before she attempted to crawl into his lap! She has been good about her front feet being handled and thinks that large inflatable balls are great fun! She is interested in the "going ons" around her and is proving to be quite laidback about a great many things.
I had a friend and her (5!) kids come for a visit. Between our combined total of 7 children running around yelling and playing, both girls were exposed to a fun albeit crazy atmosphere which they took in stride. Cece acted like all the commotion was old hat. Brea was a bit concerned when the infant began to cry, but thought that the older kids were just fascinating. She still thinks that the only non-Haflinger, on the property, Belle, is a strange one. Apparently she thinks that horses should only come in one color-gold!
