Puddles and flowers and silver

I didn't go hang out with Cessa today because she was at the back of the freaking pasture and yesterday was crappy as hell, so my level of energy was low.

However, I did go see the little guy!  We stood in a puddle:
We were not impressed by the puddle. Try to walk around, sniff, step over.  He almost hopped once?  Then we stood in it.
We cataloged new white fur:
Funny jaw spot. It vanishes when he picks up his head, and it's not missing fur - it's actually white!
We joked with his breeder that she's not allowed to braid his tail anymore:
On the left: last week.  On the right: this week.  These photos don't do the change justice!
We explored the front pasture:
Hi, Justice!
With one of his year-mates - I swear I wasn't trying to hide him!
And wore flowers in our hair:
I can haz flower?
And most importantly, he reminded me very much of why he was a smart horse to buy.  Baby's got a good, calm mind.  Everybody else running around?  Meh, I guess I can trot.  Human flapping at him to get him to move away from something?  That means you're going to scratch my butt, right?  Walk down the driveway with just a human for company?  Sure, okay, can I eat more grass?

  1. He sounds like such a sweet, adorable, and sensible horse. I cannot wait to watch him grow up!

    1. He really is! He's a little quieter than I'm used to, personality-wise, and I'm gonna have to break him of backing up to me to get his butt scratched, but... ya know, if those are the *complaints*... :)
