Flags and Horses - Happy 4th of July

Another hot day, so again wake up call at 6 a.m. to get the riding and Ziggy walking in. It was well worth it as we had so much fun. I thought it would be the perfect day to work the boys with the flag. We do have a beautiful large flag that flies proudly at our barn, a gift from Glenda because "every barn needs a flag".

It was the first time that we introduced Chambord to the flag, Remy had seen it before at Brandt's.
I just wanted to show it to them, waving it around their bodies to familiarize them with the unfamiliar sound and feel. JP, of course (!), had to take it up several notches: He picked up the flag from horseback and rode off with it. Remy looked on and seemed to say "Hey, why does Chambord get to have all the fun??"
