Well, OK... 1/2 Norse. He's a Quarter Horse/Norwegian Fjord cross.

NOW He's Back!

Well I'm happy to say that the goofball has already come out of his shell. He must have been quite put out by being sent to boarding skool!

We continue to work on having polite feet while someone is handling them. I'm proud to say that we were able to rest them on the hoofjack and rasp!! Not a bad job done, either.

As I type this, the boy is grazing out on the yard with the other light horse in our herd, the grey appendix mare. Got to get those calories in! We were going to integrate today, but the footing is far too wet. For sure we'll have one solid herd by the weekend.

On the yard last night while the others glumly scrounged for hay scraps on their less-than-green side of the fence:


I'm loving his furry little fetlocks and am thinking I'll leave them grown out. Sort of balances his comical self!
Whoops! Just had a horse mug right up against the living room window! I think he appreciated my wave. Nobody is quite as inquisitive as Max.
