Hi Liz-

Update on my girls. Wow is Phoenix awesome. She has gained back some of the weight she lost coming out but what an absolutely wonderful filly. I was "schooling" her and she gave me all four feet and learned to stand still while we brushed her and fussed over her. Today she ate breakfast and lay down in our 80 degree day and I walked over to her and sat on her. Not only did she not budge one inch she never lifted her chin off the ground. I pet her all over and was waving my arms... nothing! Just got done hosing them down to see if they would let me shampoo their legs and Phoenix gave in pretty easily.

Bonnie is a stinker! She is a spoiled brat and needs some manners but what do I expect right? She did not really like the hose at all but I won and at least washed her front legs and rinsed her whole underside. I hope you enjoy the news and know they have a wonderful home. Thanks again and i will write again.
