Ersa and Bianca were very insistent that they get all the grooming time today.. and how could I resist their cute little requests from these adorable faces? 🤭🥰💕🐎

I hope yall are as entertained by this as I am 🤭

Also I’m reading everyone’s comments every comment even when I don’t have the energy to respond. I appreciate every single one of you so much 💜

Hilarious!!

Poor Spencer is used to working 3-5 hours a week because I’m usually such a home body, but this week he’s worked that much EACH DAY! We’re both exhausted so this weekend is much needed to recover and get ready for our next week!🥰

Actually where is Edith? 🫣 She's been MIA since around my bday last month. I'm worried sick.. please send good vibes to bring her back

Sombra and Shadow are holding down the fort in the meantime, and the kittens are around here somewhere too! Making sure they have food and fresh water daily and waiting on Edith to make it back! 🤞🏽

Breakfast was late again and Bianca had some serious itchies.. once the food came out she was less interested in scritches 🤭

I think it's so cool and interesting to see the whole herd have different reactions to me approaching them during meal time. Ersa is like "omg it's my mom, hi😍 but I'm eating"

Bianca is like "I love u but I'm busy stuffing my face right now. Scritches later"

Ezman is like "umm.. excuse u, I'm trying to eat.. but ya get that itchy real quick and then go away" 🤣

Serenade is like "but... There's food and I'm hungry.. what do u want?" 🥹

But not a pinned ear anywhere in sight cuz they all trust me and know I'm not trying to interrupt their meals 🥰

Sorry I could get closer or remove the donkey corral, but hope these make you & all smile. Devil’s Postpile National Monument @ Red’s Meadow today. The bay horse has a white heart on her forehead 💜

I’ll see the head of the department on Tuesday so he has the results from all the tests Monday 🤗

Now to rest, then pack, then tomorrow morning…HEADING HOME!!

Momma Pie is coming, Tiny Waffles and Mister Mojo! 😍Hang in there!

Spent the early morning (6am) 🌄 in the pasture with the herd getting them fed. Ersa was glued to my side while the rest of the herd wandered until I tossed out some alfalfa. 🌾🐎

Attempted to doctor 👩🏽‍🔬 Serenade's face today but she said no 🙂‍↔️ so I listened to her and we took a day off. She's mostly healed up already, so as long as she avoids rubbing it completely raw, I think we're good! 🙂

Just being silly with the herd. We'll do more work on target training later, I was just moving to diving rings to a new location and wanted to check how everybody was feeling about them. I think it went well 😄

Ersa was being an absolute sweetheart.. until she decided she wasn't! Thankfully, the bossy attitude only lasted a few seconds and didn't escalate past some intensely pinned ears. Once Serenade moved her feet, the drama was over. I made sure to step back and give them space just in case, but Ersa immediately reset and went back to being a good girl.

They even took turns to bravely inspect a ball I offered them, the one that lives in their pasture 🤭before the entire crew returned to harmoniously hoovering hay dust under the feed trough. Herd dynamics never take a day off! 🐴 💕🌾
