I was just standing there by the water tank thinking and not being a bother when she came by me on her four wheeler. Now I have been trying to train my horse not to be afraid of her when she is on that four wheeler because although she sounds crazy and maybe even looks a little crazy she will not run into us. So when she came by and she was only a few feet from me and she had that drag harrow thing behind her and it hit the rocks which sent up such a noise that I flinched. I'm not much of a flincher. I'm not scared of nuthin' as a rule and I'm not saying I was scared of that drag harrow either it just startled me a little. My horse, the Pretty Boy, has been coming right along in his training but when I flinched that poor boy got spooked and jumped straight up in the air! Funniest thing I have seen in a few days that was. He went straight up in the air and straight down too. And he gave some serious thought to bolting, which means running away. But he didn't he held his ground. I hope that silly girl gives us some warning next time she is going to make a racket like that sneaking up on me and all.
The human man is not impressed with the progress the Pretty Boy has made in his training not to jump and run when things move around him. Nope he is not impressed at all. When he tries to leave the land sometimes my horse will be standing where he wants to drive and he isn't going to move because we taught him not to be afraid. The human man says a little fear is healthy. Says he just sometimes has to back up and drive around my horse. Sometimes he says he just drives right by him. I think that is pretty funny. I supposed we should explain to my horse that there are certain places that the truck drives that he should not pick for a nap.
