thursday and siete

Thursday Claire and I went to Lucas to see the cows. We had a bunch of rain but it was dry up there. While we were there Isaw a big cloud coming and thought we'd better go. I drove out and saw a big black cloud. I crawled under the pickup to pull weeds out and felt the wind switch and it started blowing so hard it rocked the pickup. I slid out and saw the big black cloud directly overhead and it was spinning. Claire was waiting in the pickup and we left fast. The cloud went back up but I heard they had wind damage up there. We got Siete and Cassy out Saturday night. They took right off but after about 100 feet Siete stopped. totally stopped. Wouldn't even think of moving. Paula and Cass were about at the double poles but we weren't moving. I started doing circles and eventually lost her left. The only way she would go was right turns. Paula thought I should get off and work her from the ground but I told her to stay there we'd get there.


. It took me about a half an hour but it
worked. I was totally soaked and so was Siete. We went back and forth but now everything worked. Sunday I wondered what would happen. It was awfully windy so Siete went by herself.She hesitated at first I gave her a big kick and everything went well. Monday I decided to work on her

mountimg. She had been moving a step when I got on and I don't like that. So I bent her head a touch and got on. She stood like a rock. I had planned on working on moving but that was quick. So

we rode around. We went up and down the ditch by the finisher and going down she tripped and fell on her knees. It was interesting hanging over her head. Tonight Paula and Cass went again. Siete went but she didn't want to. Obviously she doesn't want to go with that old bag Cass. We had a good ride as long as we kept far enough away from Cass. Siete told me that Cass had really pointy hooves and wasn't afraid to use them.
