Just hanging out

We have been spending lots of time going for walks and grazing in the back field. Flash does not really like leaving the herd, he looks back and whinnies his high pitched shrill of a whinny but he still walks forward with me so I figure he will get better with time. However, all thought of the herd are forgotten when we get to the back field, when he discovers the tastiness of the lush green grass. So we spend some time just hanging out. Today was a particularly nice day as it is starting to warm up and the sun was actually out for a change.. it is starting to look and feel like spring; at last!! Maybe the mud will start to dry out at long last...

And now there are two...


I can hardly believe I am now a 2 horse owner!

While I am planning to have Flash a long while, it will still be several years until we can really do any sort of serious riding. I still have the eventing bug and I started to think maybe I could find a suitable older horse to bring along while Flash grows up. So I found Deuce (or he just might of found me... I am not entirely sure) At any rate, Deuce came to live on the farm with Flash and the rest of the herd. I made a separate blog for my Big Spotted Horse.

Flash seems to be the low man in the herd and still clicks his baby teeth to show everyone he is just a baby and does not want to cause any problems. He seems to be content keeping the herd in site and Deuce seems to recognize that Flash is not a threat. I would eventually like to be able to pony Flash with Deuce, but he is still quite a green bean so I want to make sure he will be a good role model before I bring an impressionable youngster into the mix.
