Give that girl a job!

Yesterday after a long, fast trail ride on Rocket, I was leading him around the ring to cool him down. Memphis and Fleetfoot Jack were also in the ring waiting for their turns. Memphis was quite interested in the fact that Rocket was being led around the ring. In fact, she started to insinuate herself into the process. Within about five minutes, as a matter of fact, she had completely ousted him from his place on my right side. She was walking at the same pace as I was, and stopping when I stopped, and otherwise paying very careful attention to what I was doing.

"Me," she seemed to be saying. "Me."
