When I was visiting out at the farm in late January, to get some horse connection, I noticed the horse trailer parked down by the barn. When I saw Lester, he asked if I had taken a look in it. With his question, I figured he had picked up a new cow or some other farm animal. I peaked in the trailer on my way out and was greeted by a soft little white nose, a gentle sniff and a bright white face. There was a young colt in the trailer! I felt the spark as soon as he touched my hand. This little guy had a need as badly as I did.
Lester said he needed a place to go and he figured he had the space in his barn and knew of someone who might be willing to work with him. Later, he said, he's your's if it seems right.
I have been working with the little fella, teaching him about standing still, wearing a halter and being led. He came with the name of Two Feathers, I was calling him Charlie but I think his name is settled on Flash.
