Spa Day at the Barn

Memo got the royal treatment yesterday. Nat gave her a nice, luxurious bath. Memo even had her white socks scrubbed twice... thanks, Sarah! After Memo was all dried off, Nat worked on pulling her mane. Basically that means thinning it out so it will be easier to braid at the upcoming show. Then came the clippers!! No more whiskers for this princess! And now she even has a bridle path and no more fuzzy ears!  Woo Hoo! Elise and Nat also trimmed up her tail. Memo just soaked it all up... she just loves all the attention and pampering. Heaven for her to have a little girl spoil her rotten.

Remember how I bought that fake pony tail in Reno at Wig World?? Elise and Nat had fun with it yesterday putting it on Memo's mane. Nat said Memo looked like a "My Little Pony" with her curls! Elise was going to teach Nat how to braid Memo's mane and tail but they ran out of time. It takes a lot of time making Memo into a princess! I sure hope that darn pony tail will work to be braided into Memo's tail! I did a pretty darn good job of matching the color! 

Nat's first show of the season is the Arabians in Motion Dressage Show at DevonWood just outside of Sherwood. It will be on April 5 and 6. I'll post ride times when I get them... dressage is so civilized! Imagine... ride times weeks before the show!! Love it.
