Fun parts for me: Ron had the job of keeping Zelador from peeking while I hid Mickey Mouse. I wasn’t watching them closely, but did notice that Ron took his job seriously and wherever Zelador moved his head Ron was blocking the horse’s view. Needless to say, Zelador went directly to the hidden stuffed toy and returned it to me. Zelador also performed a new game. He stands on his pedestal and I toss Mickey Mouse to him. I really don’t know how he does this…he catches the toy by the tail. Really…the tail?
Spring Song earned an Equine Guelph certificate which included cleaning up the environment, equine health, equine physiology, equine behaviour. The “funny” thing is: this particular fundraiser was initially scheduled for April. The winter weather was over-powering and we moved the date to May 1. Well, wouldn’t you know, on May 1 the temperature was three and it was very challenging to keep warm. We chose another date, yesterday, and 50 people registered to come. 29 made it.
The joy of leftovers the day after a fundraiser which included an Ice Cream Social with tons of homemade cookies!
I received the following email from a fellow horse owner who attended the Sunday fundraiser for Equine Guelph:
The show including both human and equine performers was magnificent considering the heat! There were so many highlights . . . Tail, catch, hoola hoop toss, ribbon riding, Equine pole dancing, mini skipping rope, minis in kiddie pool, equine graduate, not to forget the human and Equine costumes!!
It was an equi-entertaining afternoon.
Thank you for all your hard work in organizing such an event and the hours & years of training required to create such willing and gracefully calm horses.
