Stretching the Legs and Playing Tag


What a fun weekend. The mares & fillies got to go out on a 5 acre pasture for the first time. The fillies took in all the wonders, checking out the many trees & rocks.


Filly had great fun playing in the new water trough, complete with huge goldfish. She splashed & played while the goldfish nibbled at her whiskers.


They appeared to be playing a game of tag. Filly & Grey Girl ran & even got Mama & Mommy Dearest to run a little. The best sight was Filly actually trotting for more than a few steps. She stretched her legs out & trotted. Up until now her legs have been too weak and/or uncoordinated to trot. Not any more. What a lovely trot. Filly also investigated who the horses were on the new fence lines. She's quite the curious little girl. Grey Girl had no inclination to investigate the other horses. She stayed close to Mommy Dearest or followed Filly investigating the trees, rocks & water trough. The weather was nice & even Mama seemed to enjoy having room for a little run. The fillies were very cute prancing & flagging their tails in high spirits. On Thursday Filly will be three months old. How time seems to have flown now that she's a wonderful, normal, happy filly.
