The New Horses on the Acreage!

.

Hello dear amici,

.

Many thanks for all of you who wrote to me with so many comforting words when my Thoroughbred, Ace, died 3 months ago (see post of March 13th). As with all animals, humans need to grieve the loss. This process takes a bit of time as many of you who have lost an animal friend/companion know very well. And so I just slowed down with everything to deal with our loss. No other horse can possibly come close to the awesomeness of Ace's gentleness, riding abilities, and personality. But move on, we must all do at some point.

.

So just a week or so ago, my hubbie, W.D. and I were able to find 2 sweet young Peruvians that are known for their smooth ride . . . which the older I get, the more I need to bounce around less!

.

Here are a few photos of Spanish Lace, whom we are calling "Lacie". She is a palomino (light yellow body and white mane and tail).

.

And here is Caramel Sundae, whom we are calling "Sundae". He is a dark caramel colored male with golden mane and tail. He is quite young and thus very small. We can't ride him yet, but we can work with him on trusting us 'on the ground'.

. .Both of these smaller horses are 'green' and so W.D. and I are just having fun working very slowly on just letting them get to know us and trust us. I have ridden Lacie, but not alone on the acreage yet. She is still pretty new at it.
.

We think they are already getting very spoiled with 'the beautiful life', La Bella Vita, just like all the other critters on the place. But we love 'em, and that's what we do famously!

.

Well, my fellow bloggin' buddies, I hope that you have a great day wherever you are in the world. I'm off to teach my summer classes, so I can't chat long this morning. Thanks for stopping by!

.

Amore',
