Drifter’s Diary: Part I

Hi. My name is Drifter. I have recently begun working with a new Person and it seems pretty interesting so I’ll be keeping a record of it here.

To start, here’s a bit about me:

Age: 4
Height: 15.2 hh at the withers, 15.3 1/2 hh at the hip
Breed: Foundation Quarter Horse
Color: Grullo, and I’m pretty fancy with my long mane

I have worked with some other People before, but not a lot. I’ve done some things like going on an overnight trail ride. That was fun!

So far this new Person has done groundwork with me. I pretty much know everything that she has asked me to do, so that’s good. The only thing is, she wanted me to stand still so she could take pictures of me! I mean, seriously? That is hard for me to do!

I'm sorry, you want me to stand square and hold still?
I’m sorry, you want me to stand square and hold still? Are you crazy?
Okay, fine, I stand up strai - oh look! Something over there!
Okay, fine, I stand up strai – oh look! Something over there!
When you're taking a picture on one side, that means I should rest that hind leg, right?

Fiiiiiiiiine. I give in. I will stand square and still. But only for, like, a second, so snap that picture fast.
Fiiiiiiiiine. I give in. I will stand square and still. But only for, like, a second, so hurry up.
