First Mini Day

We spent this entire day involved in this crazy new adventure of miniature horse ownership. After a trying time loading him, apples worked. It so helps to think like a horse! Rode home with one foot in the hay bag but no damage and he seemed quite content with it there when we discovered it. At home he checked everybody equine out from a safe distance and seemed to have an adventurous day of his own, sniffing things, being startled but sensible here and there. Met all the family, had his picture taken with Dozer who is an English bulldog who sports the same colors and spots - they vaguely resemble twins! He doesn't seem to like being in a stall. He doesn't mind his feet being lifted and cleaned, fly spray, cross ties, ears touched. I am sorry he had to leave his brother but his new companion is a tb, Diva. She is happy to have his company as her stablemate, Catook is off to camp. And, as I type, Cappuchino, aka, Dakota, aka Promise, is tucked into his tiny stall for his first night with all height adjustments made. Good eye, wants to please, obedient and sensible for 4, loves children, very sweet. Picture once we download.
