Our horse trainer, Nichole Zupan, came by for her regular Monday evening workout with blind Nikki. I took this photo while Nichole was saddling up Nikki for a session in the round pen. Nichole's schedule with Nikki is Monday and Wednesday evenings and Friday mornings. We try to keep to this three times-a-week routine, weather permitting, of course (which is getting more iffy this time of year).
Here's what it looked like from the other side ... you can see Nikki's pasture buddies, blind Lena and blind Destiny, in the adjoining field. We had just moved Nikki from that pasture to the round pen. Now the other two girls will patiently stay close by, waiting for class to get out. It's the cutest thing -- they always wait for Nikki to get done, and never wander far from the fence line.

Good to see Nikki still doing her homework. Looks colder there already; Nichole is bundled up nicely. It looks like a beautiful evening!
How sweet of Lena and Destiny to wait for their sister.
