Rowdy and Rainy at McFarland Family Festival



At the McFarland Museum, Rowdy and Rainy were the hands on exhibit for the "Horse Power" theme. Rainy stood quietly for a harnessing and hitching demonstration and Rowdy let the kids pet him and braid his mane and tail.





















Holly took Rowdy for a walk after helping out all day with both horses.


When it was time for Rainy to demonstrate how she paints, she was SO SLEEPY and not in the mood to make much of a painting. Meanwhile, Rowdy was leaning over the fence saying, "Let me do it, I can paint!" So even though I had not trained him to paint yet, I gave him the paint brush to see what he would do. See the video below of Rowdy making his very first painting.
