Rio is making friends!

   Rio has been living at the new boarding facility for a month now.  We finally found a horse that we thought would make a good turnout buddy for her.  We've turned them out twice together so far and they really like each other.  His name is Joseph and he is a big Tennessee Walker gelding.  We thought that they would be a good match because he lives with two Miniature Horses that he is really protective of.  Since Rio is small we hoped he would see her as someone to protect.  I haven't seen any aggression between them at all.  They graze, run, and are almost always glued to each other.

Here are the two of them together.

Here are the two miniature horses that Joseph lives with and Rio going over to meet them.

Rio also really likes Aiden.  Aiden is one of the biggest horses on the property, he is a beautiful Friesian x Percheron.

She also went to meet this horse while she was out.

    I saw something funny when I was working yesterday.  This cat climbed all the way up into the rafters of the barn trying to catch birds.

Oh, and by the way.  It's FINALLY dry.  Yesterday was the first time in a months with no mud or rain! It was amazing.  Its super hot here right now.  I'm really enjoying it but it is making me really tired all the time.
