Yay for horses with weirdly sized heads.... (arabs and arab crosses???)<br /><br />And hooray for some pony time! I don't know why I'm still always surprised every time I start working with Maggie after an extended period of time off...I always expect her to to forget everything she's learned, but she always just picks right up where we left off.
