Blind Lena has taken to doing this ridiculous thing when she’s finished with her grain. She stands in her feed bucket, both feet firmly planted in the center. She does this to signal to us that a) "I’m done, thank you," and b) "it’s time to untie me." There’s really no mistaking this look, is there? And she won’t move those feet until we turn her loose.
We feed Lena’s "brood" — the three youngsters who arrived at the ranch as blind foals, Nikki, Destiny and Cash — their grain at the same time. Unless we tie up Lena by the fence, she’ll finish her meal quickly and then head over to help herself to the youngsters’ portion. She’s clearly not a girl who needs any extra weight on her!
