Horse Feedin'

Today, I decided to combine some mini bike riding and giving carrot treats to a couple of the neighborhood's horses.

First, I headed down the hill to where Christmas lives. I've been giving her carrots for about a year now. She is quite tame and heads right over to me.

Afterwards, I headed to the next-door neighbor's to the gelding's corral. He is still leery of people, but I noticed some progress as he is walking a little bit closer. He was a formerly wild horse. He hasn't a name as yet.

After giving the two horses their treats, I headed back home. I will have to go to the Flying J in a little while to pick up some things at the store.
