            I enjoyed more stories today from my daughter about her day at the ranch.  I am getting to know the horses by name as she describes  how:  Shade is being treated for cancer; Rod is being exercised as he was kept in a barn and so his strength needs to be built back up; Freckles is called Merry Legs because she looks like the horse of that name from the movie Black Beauty; Patch needed another bath today as he rolled in his barn immediately after just getting washed and covered himself in wood chips; Bailey is new and just arrived; and Patch is a little bit of a bully.  Also, today, the dentist came to check the horses’ teeth.
