Canada day and Kai

Didn't do a lot of celebrating today, but got a lot done around the place. Ted got out the backhoe and repaired a leaky water stand-pipe, which will make it easier for watering the mares in their pasture, and we worked on fencing off a new area of grass for the girls, using electric fence attached to fenceposts. Got the posts in last night, attached insulators and tape today- til I ran out of tape! Will have to get another roll to finish it off.
I'm critter-sitting for my friends that own Kai, so of course I have a photo of him to share.
He is just as sweet as he ever was! It's interesting that his color turned out chocolate brown; when I got him genetically tested, his color is officially smoky black. For those of you new to my blog, this yearling colt is a full brother to Rio; if you check my labels on the sidebar for "Midnight Coyote" you'll see lots of photos of him.

Happy Canada day!

such a sweet face. Could the color difference be due to a bit of bleaching by the sun ?

Happy Canada Day! He's a beauty! Hmmm, my little black bay filly is like that- chocolatey in color too.

Margaret-no sun bleaching here yet! Kai was always that color, as he shed out his baby fur, it was much browner than Rio. Their full sister Jazz is a true brown. 3 siblings, 3 different colors. Can't wait to see the next one!

i wonder if Rio is going to be similar in color?

He is looking good, and that sounds like a good Canada Day.
