I wanted to send an update on Coffee and pictures of his first day with Cheryl, Hanna and
Rocky.
Like I said yesterday it was a rainy blustery day and while today is still blustery, the sun has been out and I haven't seen a rain drop yet. Perfect weather to spend out with the horses and the proof is in the smiles on Cheryl, Coffee, Hanna and even Rocky's faces (really look, the horses are smiling too).
It's tough on a horse to live by himself, even with people who love you around. It just isn't the same as having that ever present horse friend right there with you all day and night. How great do these two guys have it? Two beautiful women dotting all over them. Well, what horse could ask for more.
I asked Cheryl how Coffee was doing today and she let me know that they put the two horses together shortly after I left yesterday and within a short period of time Coffee was rubbing his face on Rocky's back. Mutual grooming -- one of the best aspects of herd living.
While Coffee does fine in a larger herd environment, though he tends to be lower on the pecking order, he doesn't have that concern when there are just the two of them. Cheryl said he settled right in and they were able to completely brush, fly spray and fancy him up with a fly mask. You really should have sun glasses on when you are out in the sun.....
So here is a shot of Coffee - neat!
He sure cleans up pretty....Do you see the amazing dun striping off his neck, shoulders and dorsal stripe? What a beauty!
