Rite of Passage

Evie had a rite of passage as a horsewoman today: Holding her own horse (well, equine) for the farrier.

She did a great job of reassuring Raven that all would be well and even took her turn at rasping. I was pretty impressed that she was patient enough to hang out in the rather chilly barn for the big group we had to get done today.

Much to the dog's distress, she may have gathered up all the hoof trimmings and put them in her "treasure bucket" in the barn. You have never seen a sadder group of dogs than ours tonight--they KNEW there should be tasty treats all over the barn but they couldn't find a one!
