The adorable white pony she's pictured with is not Ollie. When she first saw him she neighed and was all excited, then realized he wasn't Ollie and pulled up, confused. Poor Naners.
She's very content at Horsie School. There's five of them total, and there's a lot of stuff to watch from the property. When I left after visiting the other day she was just watching life go by in the valley. She hasn't fence walked once, there's enough going on to keep her occupied.
I really like the trainer she's with: it's who we've been lessoning with as of late. She was surprised to find that Naners has some really good training somewhere in her past. Heck, it surprises me whenever she reminds me she has it and I've owned the mare for two years now. She thinks that Naners' general issue is extreme insecurity when things get more mentally difficult, but she really does like to work. Not sure I necessarily agree with the latter, as I'm not sure she'd run away from me in the pasture if she really wanted to work :D
Naners is going to be over there for a month getting a refresher course. Ollie is here by himself and was quite sad the first night, but now he seems to be fine. And, he'll be even happier in a few days when I finish his new turnout.
