Belle was foaled in June, and looks much like big sister Jolene with the exception of a smallish star high on her face. She is showing the roaning characteristic given to her by grandma Allura, but is otherwise looking to be a sandy colored buckskin much like her daddy. Unlike daddy, this baby has some legs on her-she will be taller than Jolene, I think, as she is nearly her height now. Dolly is 14.2, but both her parents were over 16 hands. Don't think Belle will go that tall-maybe 14.3, but she will beat her sister.
She is one laid back kid. Just doesn't get wound up about things. Oh, she'll pull back and object to something, but it is never the "ohmygawditisgoingtoeatme!" Variety. Just " if you don't mind, I'd rather not." She's really cool to work with. She walks off, I turn my back, and next thing I know there is a nuzzle on my back-hey, you quit playing with me!
The puppies mystify her. They won't stay still long enough for her to sniff. Very strange little horses with short legs (dachshunds).
Feed buckets are good, but feed sacks are scary. Working on that one.
