Lap warmer

Barn cat Sassy has many talents: catching mice, lounging in the sun, eating all her food, and begging for attention. I was pleased to receive this photo from our barn sitter, showing a particularly useful winter skill: LAP WARMER!

She's a Jumper

And now she's jumping!

A Shout Out

Ms. Tiff got a shout out from her trainer, Ali, on Ali's blog, "The Art of Perpetual Bliss." You can check it out at http://artofperpetualbliss.blogspot.com/2012/11/miss-thang.html.

Enjoying the view

Darn Blogger for not letting me rotate these photos!

From the Top

The view from the tallest horse on the tallest hill on the farm. Sometimes it's just nice to pause and enjoy the scenery...

In the driver's seat

One of Sassy's favorite places to nap is the wagon seat. But, she's not keen on taking a ride. Her other preferred "bed" is the old car seat that serves as the driver's seat on the old black cart.

Getting the Nails Done

Tiffany had her first farrier appointment on Tuesday. She was a very patient girl after having to wait in the barn for half an hour. I was a little concerned she would not fully cooperate, so we went to the round pen first to work off some excess energy (which is why she is sweaty in her photo).
She was so very good for the farrier and only made a few halfhearted efforts to pull her foot away.
I'm sure her feet and self confidence are feeling better now that her nails have had a trim and been filed.

Patiently waiting for the farrier...
