Magical color-changing pony

Today was one of those days where crap happened, the BOs weren't up for doing much, and to be honest - after my activities earlier in the day, I wasn't either!

Justice... is growing more white hair.

That white on his eyelids?  That wasn't there Christmas Eve.

I'm honestly, seriously starting to think he's got two copies of the Appaloosa (LP) gene.  I know his dam and sire.  His dam is going to be 7 this year, and aside from a few random appearing and vanishing spots is still solid dark brown.  When I say a few?  She spent part of the summer looking like someone put sunscreen on her nose, and now I believe she's maybe got one more spot somewhere?

His sire, on the other hand, is a roaned-out, minimal-pattern chestnut.  He's got some small spots, but mostly he's white with red accents, in that particular way Appaloosas roan.

We know Justice has at least one copy of LP, because he's got the characteristics.  There's a 1 in 3 chance he's LP/LP, since both parents are heterozygous.  As quickly as he's trying to roan out in comparison to mom...

Starting to look like a real boy (as long as we ignore the combo of baby neck and maximum what-is-that alert mode) - and about to outgrow his halter!

We also made an effort to conquer the puddle of doooooooom.

Or, you know, the puddle of moderate size and a certain amount of concern.

He had to think about it a bunch, but he did walk through it twice, so I'm calling that a victory!

Cessa and I just hung out a bit, taking stupid selfies and trying to figure out how on earth she gets entire seed pods tangled up in her tail and doesn't seem to notice.

So... why are you back there again? I'm just gonna find another one.

Apparently as long as I don't catch her and there's a chance for cookies, I've got a pocket pony.

Cookies. You mentioned cookies.

And I'm totally fine with that... for now.
