Job 39:19-25

19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
-Job 39:19-25

Day 52: Niece and Nephew Come To Play

My sister came from Montana to visit and she brought her 2 kids with her as well. My niece, Tassin, is 8 and has an undersized cerebellum that makes it so she can not walk without a walker and my nephew, Riley, is a 7 year old ball of energy. Tassin and Riley had not yet met Reece and were very excited to see her for the 1st time. When we went out there at first I had to push Tassin in the walker because it is hard for her to get it to move out in the field and Reece fallowed us down the hill and showed no sign of being scared of the walker. When we got down to the arena I put Reece’s halter on her and did a bit of warm up work to make sure she was paying attention before I let the kids play with her. I then had Riley come in and send her over poles in the round pen and he also sent her hind quarters away from him and also her forehand. Then he led her out of the round pen and handed her off to Tassin. I had to push Tassin in the deep sand but she had total control of Reece while she led her over our ‘bridge’ and around the arena a few times. Reece was totally calm and that was the first time I have noticed how much she love kids and how gentle she is around them.
