After leaving Freedom in his stall, I slept like a rock that night. After the kids got home from school the next day, we headed out to see him. Pulling in, you could see his little red head peeking out at us. He whinnied at me when I walked up, I almost cried again! After a good brushing I lunged him for just a few minutes, and he knew exactly what to do! I clucked, he picked a little trot right up! Someone sometime spent a lot of work on this horse. I wonder what else he will show me he knows in the future.
Today, we went to visit Freedom, bearing carrots of course. He whinnied at me again, not sure if it's really meant for me or the carrots, but I'll take it. I had my husband walk him around while I cleaned out his stall. Jeramy came back in a few minutes telling me Freedom likes Doritos. Ok. Apparently Jeramy had opened the van door to let the 2 smaller kids see the horse, and there were a few Doritos on the floor, and Freedom went right after them, sticking his head completely into the van. I was thinking to myself, hello, how smart is it to take a new horse up to the car with babies in it, but after watching him do it again, realized that Freedom probably is really that mellow of a horse. I handed Julia a carrot and stood on the other side of the car to get the picture. Doritos are not the way to put weight on him, but it was only 2 or 3... Tomorrow he gets checked out by the vet. Prayers for good things!
