An After Camp Smile

Often when I go to the barn during the year, I see interesting sights. As some of you remember, I put a picture on the website last winter of Madge standing in the middle of a feed ring. Made me laugh and in the end I received all kinds of comments from you.

Well, I want to upload this photo of Laredo. He was intent on coming in for supper and stood at the gate with his halter on upside down and backwards. I couldn't figure out what had kept the halter on his head. He wasn't about to let me figure it out either until I of course had food in my hand.

That was when I discovered he had so many burdock in his forelock that they had wrapped around the halter and firmly secured it in place. Readjusting the halter meant pulling out all those burdock, and for that Laredo was minimally patient. But in the end he made me smile on that day.

I thought I'd share that smile with you at home. Julie, enjoy! I know the photo is a little dark, but you can pretty much see the off-the-ear halter fashion of the moment. Go ahead and chuckle. Feels good to chuckle about a silly horse as you are deciding what your goals will be for this busy day of yours.
