It has been raining for the past three days, so I have not made the trek out to The Farm. It just doesn’t seem worth it when the mud is so bad that I can’t lunge Zorro, let alone ride him. Grooming is sort of pointless because as soon as he’s out to pasture, he rolls in the mud!
Zorro and Onyx relax in the pasture.
I’m going to go out to see Zorro tomorrow. But, in the meantime, here is a fun picture post!!
My sister Britney loves Zorro too!
This is a cute picture of my little sister Britney with Zorro. She adores anything fuzzy, and Zorro is no exception! Britney and I both love kissing his cute little nose!
Onyx and Zorro hanging out in the paddock.
Here is one of several pictures of Zorro and Onyx together. They really were fast friends. They were sharing the paddock within 24 hours of Zorro’s arrival with no conflict. Onyx bosses Zorro around a lot, but he seems pretty ok with it. They both get buddy sour if they are taken away from each other…
Chuck the cow!
This is Chuck! He is a Holstein steer that my dad is raising him to sell off as beef some day. Poor Chuck shall one day be Chuck Roast! He serves as a bizarre pasture mate to Onyx and Zorro. The horses ignore him for the most part, but Zorro LOVES to chase Chuck around! Have you ever heard of a Paso Fino cow horse!?
Mom riding Onyx.
Here is a picture of mom riding Onyx. She is blind in one eye, and is really spooky because of it. Mom might have to sell her because we don’t think she is safe to ride any more. But, Onyx is a very comfortable ride when she’s not jumping at every twig and rock.
Our trailering rig.
This is our somewhat odd trailering rig. We have a 2000-something Chevy Astro Van pulling our two-horse trailer. The van can definitely handle pulling the trailer with two horses in it, but I’m sure it looks funny.
Zorro's Sire, LF Martillo de Magico
This is a picture of Zorro’s sire. That’s his father, for those of you who are not Horse People. He looks black, but is actually a dark bay. Isn’t he just adorable!? I see where Zorro gets his good looks from!
Zorro's Dam, Mimica Sin Par
This is a picture of Zorro’s dam. Yep, that’s his mom, non-Horse-People. Zorro’s coloring is very similar to hers.
Zorro grazing near the round pen.
And there’s the little guy himself! Eating, as usual. I miss him so much and I can’t wait to go visit him tomorrow! Hopefully I’ll have a good progress report to blog about…
Nooo! You CAN’T each Chuck! Just look at him with the disproportionate head:body:legs ratios! But you know what would go well with the horses and Chuck on the farm? ..that’s right, fainting goats!
Clay, I am Courtney’s Mom, Holly. We would love to get a goat. The pygmy goats are sooo cute and fun. However….our electro braid fence will not keep a goat in, so getting one is not practical.
