Butter got a well deserved post-bath graze while Cassy Hoban waited for him to dry (he rolls in the dirt like a pig otherwise).

So handsome and charming, he attracts all the mares like a magnet.

Still really 🔥🔥🔥 and humid. Cassy Hoban did a bit of easy work, ramping up what "lunging" is for him, plus some mounting practice.

Too stinking hot to stay out in the sun long. 🥵🥵🥵

For my part, Butter gets hosed down in his paddock daily, which is hilarious with his antics. He and Finley come to the gate and beg for their bath.

Hoping for a break in this weather soon!

A post scary storm ⚡️⚡️⚡️ romp in the arena!

Butter (~17) dwarfs Finley (16.2) now. His body keeps filling out. And he has a LOT of power! Luckily he is a well behaved lamb. So easy to handle and cuddly.

Lazy days right now with the high heat and humidity 🥵🥵🥵 Butter on a little break while vacations wrap up, etc.

We had to move to the shade to finish practicing rider weight. He did so well.

Sorry about the butt shot Cassy Hoban 😂

His face - expression - always so relaxed even with crazy new things. Just another thing to process.

Kind of a big deal today. Butter took full rider weight, for short moments.

He couldn't have been less concerned. He also didn't care about the flapping flag on his ba****ck pad. A nice rest in the shade at the end. It was really hot and humid today.

Great job Butter and Cassy Hoban!!!

During his loose/liberty time, Butter followed Cassy Hoban around the arena mostly (with the occasional squirrel).

In this short video, she broke into a trot. Butter followed and tossed his head at the slow pace as he stayed behind her properly. Hilarious.

He has such a big, adorable personality! ❤️

Excellent session today. Butter's engagement is exceptional. He is all-in start to finish. What a great 🧠 our baby boy has.

He did liberty work, line driving, and mounting practice. Here's a video of line driving. I will share others in separate posts.

He is learning the words - trot, walk, back, and canter (for the first time today during liberty). I swear he is smarter than most people. 😲

Trotting while line driving - quite the workout for Cassy Hoban! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ 😂

Well done!

So much enthusiasm!

Poor Butter. He really thought this was so lame. He's too old for balloons and all this nonsense.

Bless him. He humored us and went through the motions. Then got a bath and rolled.

Happy Birthday Butter! 🎉🎉🎉

It was hot, humid, dead air with bugs, making Butter a less than enthusiastic birthday boy. 😂

But we got as many photos as he would tolerate to record this happy day. More photos in next post.

We decided we earned the 🎂 and kept it for ourselves afterwards. 😂

Good job handling the grouchy baby Cassy Hoban! We love him

We are getting close to Butter's third birthday - this Saturday the 7th.🎂

He was exceptional today. He keeps raising the bar on how engaged and eager he is. 🌟

Here's a video of him taking rider weight for the first time with Cassy Hoban and my husband John helping. Finley's ears in the foreground 🫠
