Brothers

Rio and Kai are getting along really well, and it's nice for Rio to have a buddy that isn't a mare. They are enjoying their own pasture; mares on one side, Beamer on the other- oh, and cows on the south side.
In perfect unison!
It was nose down after a short burst of checking out their new digs....

even sharing the same space. (Why do horses do that?)
These boys are so similar, and yet different. Rio will be much taller of course, but Kai will be chunkier. They are both really easy to handle. They share the same color, but Kai has minimal white- a little on one pastern and a little wee star on his forehead. They both still have their greyish eyes. 
Little brother Nitro.... well he's a piece of work. He's just as  willing and gentle as his brothers, but he's much more active. Pesky, even, according to Chickory.
I was hoping to get a video of Rio and Kai playing, but they were much too busy chowing down. Nitro, however, was happy to oblige.


I'm pretty happy with this band of brothers. But really, Belle, I'd like a filly next year!
