Mom + One

No, not the guy on the fence... the babe peeking out from behind. Appearances can be deceiving, though. This little guy is no timid mouse.

At four months old, he has not yet been with any other horses than Mom. The plan is to integrate them slowly, first with a mare Mom knows from another place, then with a very maternal sweetheart of a mare.

You will, of course have noticed the cribbing collar. The hope is that with the high environment enrichment our pasture offers, Mom will forget all about her habit born of boredom. We shall see.


Mom is half Shire, half Thoroughbred. Dad is one quarter Percheron, the rest Thoroughbred. Any dressage people shopping out there may want to take a peek...

Max comes home Thursday!! I cannot believe how ready I am to have his mug back in our pasture.
