Pistol's first turnout and Mesa update

Yesterday it was time. Time to let Pistol and Belle out into the mare pen for a while so the li'l rascal could stretch those long legs of his. I put the other three in the bottom pen so they could have turnout without being pestered- and because I don't trust Coulee and Belle to not get aggressive to each other.

At first he wanted to hang out with the other horses, but when mama moved too far away he lit out after her.

This boy can run and stop and turn! Check out the sliding stops and rollbacks in this video:



After his fun, he stuck by mama. Love the matched stride in this photo; Belle and her mini-me.

 One of my friends chastised me for not taking Mesa pics- I have been but not posting them because she is shedding and looks really messy right now.  But she is still  my pretty girl!

Another month or so and most of that baby hair will be shed out... just in time to grow winter hair!

She is friendly, curious, easy to catch, can pick up all her feet without the halter on, and of course, helpful as all get out!
