New Year's Day is the day when most horses are considered to turn another year older. So while Filly & her friends, Grey Girl & Blondi, are 8 months, 6 months & 11 months respectively, they are now YEARLINGS! Their older friend is my now 3 yr old, future riding horse & trail partner. Horses are so lucky, they have two birthdays of special treats every year. New Year's Day brought buckets of warm mash with carrots, & I hear a birthday party is in the planning stages for Filly's really big day in May. It's hard to believe that the ups & downs of 2009 are finally behind us. 2010 brings in a new year that I hope proves to be all fun times & adventures for the new yearlings.
I always wondered why that is necessary....the little six-month-old sure gets a whammy in that regard, still such a baby. She is an adorable baby, though, they all are so cute. Love their little blazey faces. Whatcha doin', gots anything for us?
ReplyDeleteSilly fillies were trying to eat the camera. I had to almost run backwards to click before they got to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy oldest son, with a terrible sense of humor, used to say that was the prelude to the "attack of the killer horses". Going out in the pasture means mobbed; unless, of course, you have work in mind and then they all head to the furthest corner of the pasture hoping we will not notice them!
