Equestrian Journey: Watermelon!

Watermelon!

We got a watermelon for Fourth of July (on sale! score!), but we ate it yesterday and of course I gave the rinds to Chrome and Zep. Chrome was all for it at first, but lost interest after and few bites. Zep devoured his hehe. Check out the video below.

I love Zep's eyes!

I gave Chrome yesterday and today off since I rode him two days in a row and I'm glad I did. He seemed tired yesterday, but today he came trotting to me and was goofing off and being his silly self again. :)

I think it's so funny when they eat watermelon. A horse I had when I was a kid would take a bit and then suck on it for several seconds before finally eating it :)

I never thought to give them watermelon rinds what a cool treat for them.
Kika has eaten melon before when we went on a cool rally trek last summer u r Nancy wasn't one bit bothered by it.

Name: Led Zeppelin

Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
