First Field Trip

Rooster and I went on our first field trip this evening to a friend's house who has a nice, big outdoor arena.  He stepped out of the trailer and checked things out just like some of my horses who have been hauled a hundred times.  I walked him around a bit, then let him off the lead to explore.  I was hoping he'd stretch his legs a little in the large area, but he was content just investigating the new enclosure and found some hay to munch on.

Some more friends came to visit and really took a liking to Rooster - and I think the feelings were mutual!  I was really impressed with how quickly Rooster cozied up to these "strangers."  We sat and visited for a good hour or so, and Rooster just stood with us no problem.

I was really happy with how the evening went.  Sometimes you just never know what's going to happen in new surroundings and with new people, but Rooster really impressed all of us tonight and I'm really looking forward to more outings!
