Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move

A Golden Morning!


I had the opportunity this morning while walking Daphne to observe the morning routine of a family of Goldeneye. For a change they were close to shore while I was there. A good stretch started off the bathing routine.


Next came the lathering up.


Then we started to get serious about this grooming bit.


A quick rinse and the wash was complete.


\A final check under the arm pit.


Almost forgot to check the tail!


A quick scratch and it is done.


Doesn't she look swell?


Time to check on the kids.


Off to the shore.


I hope they observed how it was done! Those little gaffers have really grown over the last two weeks! It's almost time to fly away!
