He complains sometimes, but I can bribe him by cooking something yummy for supper LOL!!<br /><br />I love Chrome's forelock! I wish his whole mane would grow that long. Chrome's forelock is actually really thin, so instead of cutting a bridlepath for him I just pulled that hair forward and added it to his forelock hehehe! The bridle sits on it, but it hasn't caused a problem so far. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-51521456016562587942014-12-04T06:46:26.901-06:002014-12-04T06:46:26.901-06:00Yay on the arena and the video & pics for post...Yay on the arena and the video & pics for posterity and comparison sake.

It was too heavy for me to move, so I left it in a corner until Hubs could move it. Gentry knocked it over twice beforewe could move it.
