Day 8

We took Santana to our friend Debbies arena again yesterday. We did some drivng with him. He didn't like this at all. He didn't like the ropes around his back end and he didn't like me behind him. Lisa had to lead him so he wouldn't spin around. We did this for about 15 minutes. He then got a bath with aloe iodine wash. He has a skin fungus. It was about 30 degrees out so he just got a sponge bath with a bucket of hot water. He enjoyed his first bath and then got a blanket on.

Finally I was chosen for the Extreme Mustang Makeover to be held in Albany, Oregon on March 21st. I can be adopted by anyone who qualifies by the BLM to be an adoptee. I am 14 hands tall. I love people and love to go trail riding. I like long walks on the beach and grazing on pasture. I am gentle and easy to ride. I am not afraid of anything. My full name is Sapheara Warrior Princess. If you would like to meet me you can see me at the Expo.
