I have no friends

... at least I didn't have anyone with me when I went to see Olga yesterday, and therefore I had to make a video myself :) I also had to cover all the funny sounds I make with this boooring music. It is interesting to see how much it is changing her that I am concentrating on my phone this much. She is just getting started here, I finished filming and started to play with her after this and she was full of sparkle. Some day someone could film that too :)

Changes

Olga is now living solo because she eats different hay than the others. She will be getting visitors from the other side (of the fence!) or maybe even someone special, we'll see about that later. Luckily she does not mind living like this, she still feels like part of the herd.


This is Olga's new "studio apartment", the hole in the wall is for scratching with her friends. It is very important that they get to scratch each others so that they stay connected.



This is her new hay feeder which she hated at first. Now that she has understood that this way her hay will not run out, she is more at ease. She also has one hay net hanging from a tree, I made it of some kind of golf net.





Olga had her meal a bit later than the others yesterday, her neighbours seemed to be somewhat jealous ;)

the sweetest thing

I felt very touched the other day when I was going to take Olga out for a walk. She was already standing by the gate, but when she saw me and the halter, she started to nodd her head the exact same way she does when I approach with her hay or meal.

I gladly took it as a confirmation that I am on the right path here.



I uploaded this photo in my facebook page and wrote (jokingly) that I am so boring that my horse falls asleep. My dear friend Sanni (do go & see her art!) commented that Olga feels so safe that she can take a nap because she knows I'll take care of her. Isn't that sweet :)
