new mini at the barn, Casper

Cora doesn't seem to like him - she charged him three times this morning

but that might be a resource-guarding thing - she wants his grain

I've never seen her do that before, though

(I've seen her feint at dogs but never a charge)

easy to forget just how big and powerful she is till you see something like that

the pink trailer is the coolest, it belongs to some prospective new boarders

i never knew the tiny lawn weed flowers were so colorful

the seed pod is a devil's claw, indigenous basket weavers use them

boomer is cool, he likes neck scratches
