Haji

We were in Sioux Falls this weekend for a wedding so on our way out of town we swung by to visit Haji. He's finally mingling with the herd a bit more so that was really nice to see. Of course he's a gray horse so he was dirty as can be. I told Daniel he needs to get some small grooming tools and get to work. His forelock is growing out nicely, now his tail just needs to catch up. He's lost a little weight from the move/winter but otherwise he's looking good. He's kind of funny shaped so even when he's fat his backbone sticks out. Poor guy reacts pretty big to bug bites so he's all bumpy but with the other horses there's probably no way he'd keep a fly sheet on. I'm sure it's much nicer not wearing one, probably just adds heat. Daniel petted him a bit and then went over to see some of the other horses and Haji followed along, making sure "his boy" was okay I'm sure ;) We brought him a big apple from the hotel breakfast. Daniel even got a little ride. Without a saddle though, Haji's not the most comfortable bareback horse but I don't think Daniel cared. I'm looking forward to when we can put Daniel up on a saddle and lead Haji around without holding the boy on.
