On the tail of the Miniatures departure came two other horses to fill the empty pasture and our hearts. I traded my mini stallion for this three month-old little girl, sight unseen (meaning; I bought her before looking at her) and I was a little nervous about that because I’ve never done that before. But when she came off the trailer all my qualms vanished as I saw the prettiest bay Haflinger/Quarter Horse filly with all the correct markings that bays’ are supposed to have.
Lexus was not halter broke at all and if we pulled on the lead rope to go forward she would go backwards—FAST! But by the next day, she was leading without any pressure on the halter.

Now she thinks I’m her surrogate mother and when the other horses start antagonizing her, she’ll come and hide behind me. LOL :)

...Tabby and Lexi...

Then a day or two after Lexus came, we drove 60 some miles to see a weanling Paint colt, which stole our hearts the second we saw him. Levi, Dad, and second cousin, Larry Lee went over the next day to pick him up. It took four hours to get him in the trailer as the owners tried to force him in when he got scared and backed off. But finally he was in and they all came home, dog-tired. :P Starbucks got over his frightening experience and soon was buddies with Lexus.

So if you’re wondering where I am and why I’m not blogging, it’s cuz’ I’m out in the pasture playing with the sweet little babies. :D
