Bringing home the Brat

Well, although it was super cold today, we all bundled up and went to pick up "The Brat".  That is the name that stuck when his previous owners brought him home.  Although most of his bratty behavior has disappeared, he's still hampered with that name. 

He did really well loading, unloading, and getting aquainted with mom's horse, Blue.  He was excited to have the hay that dad put up last summer, taking great pains to make it perfect for horses. I know squat about hay, so I can't be more specific, but Brat was happy to get it.

Blue sqealed and snorted and tried to act tough, but he wasn't physically agressive, and Brat couldn't have cared less about all the commotion.  Soon after being turned out together, they were enjoying a meal side-by-side.  I created a Snapfish album (since this computer doesn't have AOL, so "I've got Pictures" doesn't work).  It may want you to create a user name to view it.  If you don't want to do that, the second link is to my mom's journal, and you can view the pictures there.

I saw the pics over at your Mom's Journal! Brat is adorable! He is about the same size as my Boo, and Boo carries me quite well, so don't just consider him a 'pony' <g>... Those little arabs were bred to be compact and strong! I need to put up some pics of Boone... maybe when it warms back up here and he can have a bath <LOL> He looks like he is going to be a treasure, and he and Blue look like old pals already!

Well I do not consider Brat a pony. My niece rode in shows and they considered it a horse if it was 14 hands or more even if it was a pony breed. Brat is pretty. I can't wait to see him with his slick spring coat.
