Still on vacation, still without Bonito! We have someone watching and feeding him in that big pasture he's in, though with all that grass that is in some places taller than he is, I don't see how he'll need it! I plan on grabbing lots of shampoo and conditioner when I get back and giving him a big bath, I'm sure he'll need it!
I also made a new picture thing for this, there isn't much to do here when it's high tide and midnight!

Since we are going on vacation for two week in Fripp Island, South Carolina we deci
ded since Romeo was going off to a trainer that we needed to do something with Bonito. Behind our barn, there's a big, over grown pasture (The grass is as tall as ME in some places!) and with a couple phone calls we were able to stow Bonito away there for the two weeks we will be gone. Though he won't be alone! He will be living with 4 longhorn calves and another horse. I wish I could just squeeze him in the crowded truck and take him wi
th us!

Today I worked Bonito in the round pen since he's not as poor as he was three weeks ago, and he does need a little muscle along with fat to even himself out. He picked everything up real quick, and after awhile took his mind off the grass! I think a little of that every day can really do alot for him!
After a short workout, I decided to give him a little bath. Little did I know the little bath w
ould turn into a big bath! When I was done with him his white was whiter than it had ever been before, even his legs, which I thought were stained like that until he completely shed his old coat, but I was wrong! He's still a little faded, but I think come next spring we'll notice a big change in his coat with all the groceries we have been pouring into him! I got all the caramel color out of his tail, too, which I was really happy about. I bet if you had wiped your finger across him, it would've squeaked- he was that clean!

I ponied Bonito behind Romeo today (Well, not TODAY, but I'm a little late on my postings!), and they both did really well. Though, Bonito was a little fast at first, going ahead of Romeo alot, and he did get a little exited and take off running once, but after that little number he did fine, and stayed at a good place behind/beside Romeo while walking and trotting. He's a very willing little guy!

Well, me, my mom, Kirby, and Tara went on a trail ride today at the 7IL Ranch, but poor little Bonito had to stay home. Romeo did really well with everything from jumping random objects to going for a swim, though this blog isn't really about him, is it? Anyways, I hope to take Bonito on a trail ride behind our house and just pony him behind Romeo, since neither of them showed any problems doing it in the arena AND my mom has a new three horse trailer! I've attached some pictures of him in the pasture, and a picture of him and my sister from tonight.
As for his weight and everything he has really made some progress.
I 
think he's getting a little taller, too! He's really filling out nicely, and I think he's going to be a pretty stocky little guy once he gets a little fatter and some muscles on him! As for his height I'm sure he'll never reach his full potential, I'm thinking he'll be pretty much stunted. But who knows, I hope he can get big and tall!
