In Good Company

When it's 104 degrees and you've got to walk a heifer three miles, it's really nice to have some company. Robert is Nicole's boyfriend and I'm thinking that if he is willing and able to keep up with these two girls on a day like this, then he's a keeper. Walking like this every day  teaches Chloe to follow Nicole's lead which is important for taking her through an arena. She is also building up muscle and taking a refreshing break from the pen. Come on cooler weather!

And Then There Was One

It's just you and me, kid.

So Long Curly Top

After far too many failed attempts by many to teach him to lead, we have deemed Trump unfit to show. The bigger he grows, the more dangerous he is becoming and we fear he will seriously injure Nicole. Regardless of the trouble he may have caused, he will be sorely missed. It was a sad day for Nicole when he left to go back home. Happy trails Trump.

Life Lessons

Nicole is teaching Chloe to walk with her on a lead rope and making that task look easy. When Chloe is grown she will outweigh Nicole by nearly a ton and she will still be walking along beside her on this rope. In order for Chloe to walk flawlessly beside Nicole in the shows, there has to be an abundance of trust and confidence in both of them. In order for those things to develop, there has to be an abundance of patience and determination, also in both of them. These are lessons that they both will benefit from for their entire lives.
