Us farm owners HATE mud!!! It’s VERY slippery for both me AND the horses. But the horses still find it amusing to get down and roll in it so they’re DISGUSTINGLY DIRTY!!!!

As most of you know, Emma is Maverick’s girlfriend. She’s been recuperating from some surgery so we haven’t seen her for awhile. She came for a visit the other night and spotted a bug on the ground and just couldn’t help herself from trying to make friends with it.

At the pony party last Saturday, Noah’s Ark made an appearance with some animals for a petting zoo. Among them was a zebu. What’s a zebu you ask? Good question!!! I call them miniature cows but that’s not exactly accurate. Here’s the Wikipedia definition: sometimes known as humped cattle or Brahmin cattle, are a type of domestic cattle originating in South Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent. They are characterised by a fatty hump on their shoulders, drooping ears and a large dewlap. They are highly adapted to high temperatures, and are farmed throughout the tropical countries, both as pure zebu and as hybrids with taurine cattle, the other main type of domestic cattle. Zebu are used as draught oxen, as dairy cattle and as beef cattle, as well as for byproducts such as hides and dung for fuel and manure.
