Gift Horse

Just a quick post to let those in blogland know that Isaiah and I each got an early Christmas gift yesterday.  In the form of four -well eight- legs, manes, and tails.  Rosie is a 15 year old grade paint, and Cork is her 2 yr. old son.  Rosie is well trained, Cork not so much.  Isaiah has fallen in love with him and his gentle disposition, as this photo attests:



 
We were lucky enough to get them home yesterday before it started snowing, though we've only gotten about three inches.  Gives me time to study up on training this new boy for my boy.  My mom was kind enough to remind me that it was twenty years ago that they gifted me with a horse for my sixteenth birthday present.  Rusty and I had a few good years before I had to sell him and head to college.  Hopefully Isaiah will have many years with Cork (or whatever he changes his name to) to come. Merry Christmas!
