I went out to the barn today to visit Maxine. We hadn't seen each other since our exciting clinic last Saturday. Frankly, I wanted to give her a break to recuperate.
Because her hooves are a little overdue for the farrier, I decided to tackle a some light groundwork. It wasn't going to be a long session, I just wanted to see what her mood was like.
I'm pleased to say that Maxine was in fine form. She quietly performed her showmanship and maneuvered obstacles similar to those that had given us so much trouble last weekend, such as walking through a tire, and backing through the "L."
In return for her regained work ethic, we spent some time hand grazing on the lawn before I put her to bed for the night with a pile of hay and a healthy helping of grain and yummy herbs.
It's definitely all worth it.

I found you because you posted your story at mugwumps!

Exact same thing as Mel just said! I'd love to read the rest of the Donk story, and I really like the way you write. Thanks for sharing your muleventures with us!
