I ended up leaving Babe and Mayhem in the pasture last night. It was more out of pure exhuastion rather than anything else. I loaded up Chaos to take him to a Mounted Shooting practice to see how he would do. But before we could go, I needed to get Babe and Mayhem out on grass, along with Skippy. Everyone was happy to get out on grass.
But when we finally got home at 10:30pm, I didn't have the energy to tromp through the pasture to find the two mares and put them back in their pens. I decided I'd leave it up to them to manage in the pasture. This morning, Babe was asleep on the south side of the red shed. Mayhem noticed me but wouldn't leave Babe's side. I am so glad that I paired thsoe two together. Hopefully Mayhem will learn something from Babe.
It was nice to take Chaos out and show him off, specially considering he's a rescue. Unfortunately time has not allowed me to really work with him much over the past couple of years. I need to really focus on him and Maverick and get them going a lot easier. But for sure Chaos will make a great mounted shooting horse. After the initial shot, he stood as cool as a cucumber the entire time. I need to do some ground work with him. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some time this weekend and get him going a little bit easeir before the next mounted shooting practice.
Overall it was a great evening with great people, great weather, and great horses. I couldn't have asked for a better night.
