Sweet Nothings

My horse has the prettiest eyelashes ever.  Please disregard the smear of mud (poop?.....something gross) over his eye.  LOL.

I took this picture during an awful storm.  He was a bit anxious because the horse beside him was afraid and I kept talking to him in a soothing voice.  He would inch closer and closer to the side of his stall to the point where you could tell if he were able to sit in mom's lap, he would try!

So, I got the idea that I would start reading to him whenever I had extra time.  Just to establish further a connection with the sound of my voice.  I took some books out to keep in my locker and on rainy days I bring my folding lawn chair into the barn and read. 

I swear he enjoys it!  Well, I enjoy it.  It is relaxing for me anyway LOL.
