My Little (walking) Pony

Okay, so if you know horsies, I have to mention that right after Buttercup took a taste of the recorder, I showed Dan the proper way to lead a pony - walking on her left with my right hand on the rope under her chin, left hand holding the lead in an "s" shape.

I took her halfway around the big barn and Dan requested to do the second half. She was focused on the task and didn't need a rest at every quarter of the way (another breakthrough).
