A bad and cold day - Kayla

Today was freezing! it was the first snow day. Dante gave Kesley troube (she'll tell you about that later) and then when I went to get Danny, he ran from me. No matter what I did he ran away. Thats huge. He usually walks right up to me. but today he turned tail and ran in the opposite direction! I was freezing. I prayed that God would help me, I was cold, my legs were tired and I was not in the mood to run after my horse.

Mrs. Cloutier saw me struggling out in the field and came to help me. She tried to catch him and he ran away from her. She said he thinks he's running now, I'll show him what running is. She made him run all over the field. It sounded really cool. But I was so tired I didn't really care. I was mad. I sat on the fence and prayed for a while. Mrs. Cloutier chased Danny up and down the field. He finally got the message and stood for her to catch him. This took about 45 minutes. I didn't give him any treats I fed him a bucket of feed, picked his feet and turned him loose.

It wasn't very fun, but it was worth it because I was able to grow, and also able to teach my horse that I can be more stubborn than he can. I will post pictures soon. Bye!
