He Is So Hooked.....

It's 6:05 am when I first open my eyes, well, sort of....upon returning from the lav, I already knew, somehow, that Steven was already awake, and I hear: "I think we should...." which I interuupted: "Steven: don't talk to me til at least 6:45". Silence.....Just like a kid on Christmas morning ......

At 7:45 Steven wakes me up: "Your coffee is ready and I have already fed the horses". I am thinking, oh, there is a big surprise....until I see that he's still in his bathrobe? Whaaat? Did he really go outside with the horses like that? I am now, quite shocked....that is not something he would normally do, I am impressed. Later I learned, he had actually gotten dressed first, but I was now awake and ready to start the day.

After breakfast, we prepare swapping Dazzle and Sage to their proper paddocks/stalls. All is fine, everyone quiet and compliant. She inspects her paddock, and it passes, and she promptly lays down for a good roll, rises and then does the other side. She inspects her slightly used stall, also met with approval and digs in to the fresh pile of hay, they all do.

Steven left to dump the manure trailer and a make a much needed trip to the dump, then retrieve spare children....to ride Dazzle. While they were out, I went outside...all three laying down in their paddocks, and all on their right side.....I'm going to check all their pulses...this is just too quiet. I think she's mesmerized the boyz.
