Well folks, it's been a month since I last posted about Smarty Marty, sorry about that. It's been a crazy month. After the fair, my Austrian guest stayed for the whole month of September (which seemed like one week we had so much fun) and we were busy doing all kinds of things. She just left today so I spent the afternoon trying to get caught up on some things that have taken the back burner during the month of September. But it's important that you know how much Sabine has helped with Marty's progress. After the fair, we just sort of soaked it all in after winning Grand Champion Mustang Trail Challenge. Then we continued working with Marty. There was only one thing Marty was still fussy about and that was the dreaded fly spray. It wasn't so much what came out of it....it was the sound the fly spray made. So Sabine spent many hours just spraying Marty with water (and he loves water). So it wasn't long before the fly spray was no longer a big deal for Marty.
Also, Marty had some special visitors this month. Four little girls came and met him! They spent a lot of time grooming him and loving on him. He loved every minute they spent with him and I think the girls had a lot of fun too!
They all got to groom Marty and he just shined when they were done.
One twin in particular, really showed a look of love in the picture below. It's one of my favorites.
Then after they got done spoiling Marty. The sister sets each took a ride on my 24 year old Mustang, Honey!
I think everyone had a great day!
So other than trying to squeeze so much in this last month, we did get to go on a few trailrides and I ponied Marty on Sassy and Honey. He's doing very well.
