"Beau open the gate let's see how she is for barrels." I say. Beau opens the gate an I lead her to the training area an Beau opens the gate an we run the barrels an she done good so we ran them again after a while I took her back to the barn an brushed her down then put her out in the field to graze. "I know that look what's wrong. "I used a whip like I normally do for Brownie an she didn't freak so those scares are not from a whip or she would of freaked." I say. "What do you think it was then?" Beau ask. "I don't know but I plan on finding out Im going to the office." I say. I walk to the office an pull out her files an see there is a number from the last owner so I call it.
