Ghost

This little guy is awesome! He’s the first of Abby’s foals that has been born at home, and we like his personality so much. He’s more independent and autonomous than her other foals have been; we think that may be because he’s been here from the very beginning, where Abby is a little more relaxed around “her own” people. He’s very friendly, both toward people and toward other horses. He and Doc have already become best buddies over the fence that separates their pastures.

His blaze is so special and unique! We would love to hear from you, telling us what you think it looks like. We think it looks like a ghost, or a spirit, that is pointing with an “arm” above his left eye. When he blinks his eye, the arm moves up and down, as though it’s waving!

We’re not absolutely sure that he’s going to remain black. He looked coal black when he was born, but now has some brown areas on his nose, and kind of a brown cast developing in the hair on his sides and belly. We might have to change his name to “Mr. Brown.” We also realize that he may eventually turn gray, like his Mom and older brother and sister. We think he’ll be gorgeous, in any case!
