Ski Diva Extraordinaire
...but I am not a fan of the effect the spring weather is having on Huey. Which is compounded by the fact that he's been out of work since early December.
He's getting pissy. A couple of weeks ago he staged a little rebellion, started refusing the halter. No physical issues other than sap rising (he's up to date on vet, farrier, dentist, chiro). Little ornery bugger. I've spent way more time than I care to consider, obliging His Royal Badness to move in the paddock. If there isn't any ice, and the ground isn't swampy, and it's not frozen into huge ruts either, I can really move his butt, and it takes no more than 5 minutes for him to realize that it will be easier to stand and go in the halter than to whine and dig in his heels. If it's icy, or swampy, or big frozen ruts, it takes closer to 30, 40 minutes.
He needs to be back into work BIG time. I'd be chomping at the bit (haha) if it didn't correspond with the end of Ski Season. As it is, I'm torn...
