Inspected

Spoiler alert, I'm not the only one who thinks Charlie is pretty special. He earned his premium title with sBs on Tuesday.

I'd never seen an inspection before, so it was an interesting process. My friend and I braided Bubby and Charlie that morning and then one by one mare and foal pairs were brought out to a medium sized field. First they were assessed in hand and then walked away from and towards the inspector. Then they were turned loose and encouraged to show off their gaits. Some pairs (cough Neville and Vee cough) were really not motivated, while others got a little wild. Afterwards they were caught and returned to their stall. It warmed my heart that Charlie still let me catch him right after being mildly chased around. Good baby boy. 

I am struggling to embed the instagram video, but go here if you want to see higher quality video of all the babies.
