The Boss

For a little over a week now, we have been training a horse. We Have A Problem, Brodie has decided that he now owns/trains the horse. He calls him HAP or sometimes HAPPY, and it is pretty much all he talks about. HAP this and HAP that, he even says night, night HAP every night while laying in bed. Brodie just loves being around horses, especially his horse. He also just loves coming out in the morning and being a complete barn rat. He has his own little routine, he checks on HAP, plays with Juan's goat and chicken, rides the Nunleys pony. The kid comes home absolutely filthy, and he loves it. On Tuesday We Have A Problem ran and won, which sent Brodie into an emotional roller coaster. I take a lot of the blame for that because I got him pretty wound up before the race. During the race Brodie alternated yelling "go HAP" and "Go Da". After the race we stood on the track as Da jogged HAP back, and Brodie continued to Yell "YAY!!!DA!!!" at the top of his lungs. Then when we walked back in to the grand stand, Brodie began yelling "I WON THAT" and hi five-ing everyone in sight. Then began the "YAY, YAY, YAY'S" This lasted for the next hour or so. By 7:00pm Brodie was alternating laughing hysterically, and sobbing crying. I am pretty sure that it was the best day of his life.

While I was getting my license, they asked me what my horse's name was. When I said We Have a Problem, Brodie started yelling "my horse" so they also licensed him.
