These two performers have developed an extraordinary relationship after years of performing together. Equine bonding in it's purest form.

It is actually a kick watching these two together. Not only while performing, but just around the barn too. They are totally joined at the hip.

Bud,
One day I arrived at the barn and "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" were loose in outdoor ring pen. The only way to get into the barn was through the pen and they were standing at the far end. I had a bag of carrots in my hand, but because I go in a cage with 14 tigers with a meat pouch on my hip, I didn't think I was in any danger. I no sooner opened the gate, when those two flew across the pen and "mugged" me. I not talking "pushed" me a bit to get a carrot Bud, I talking "mugged" me. Valiantly I fought my way to the barn, with close to a ton of black shoving me, trying to paw my boot heels off, with a half a ton of grey trying to pull my arms off, unless I let go of the carrots first. I hid in the safety of the barn until the Madame Col. came, and told her, "you need to put those ill-mannered, untrained, carrot bound renegades in their stall. I have to go back to the pickup for another bag of carrots, and I am too old to tempt fate twice in one day." I have never seen anything like those two, after 33 years of dealing with all kinds of animals. "Joined at the hip?" Hell Bud, they transmit messages to each other from 50 yards away.

Quite true Wade. Those two have perfected their mugging techniques on the best. I'm supprised Dianne has any pockets left on her jackets. I think they have developed their own little ESP between them.
Baby has learned how to do 3 step from Robin. And yes, I do mean it as if he learned it from Robin himeslf. When I last saw Dianne work them both free, she was asking for Robin to do 3 step and Baby was also responding off to the side of Robin... WITH THE CORRECT FOOT!! Next, Baby will be teaching Robin to rear. LOL Training by osmosis.
I love those funny guys.
Bud
