Spike is Here!!! 04/09/2009
 

Spike arrived at our farm last night.  He loaded and trailered like a dream; no problems whatsoever.  It only took about 5 minutes to get him in the trailer and there was NO drama!  He pretty much followed a feed bucket straight in.  He rode well and wasn't even sweating when we arrived home.  He can't wait to get out with the others and seems obsessed with John (who thinks Spike tastes delicious and keeps trying to take a bite over the fence).  Spike neighs like a weenie; I think even Ollie has a stronger voice, ha ha!  So here are some shots of his first hour on the farm. 

Doesn't he have the most gorgeous trot?

Spike is such a beauty.  He has the straightest legs and a gorgeous headset and stance.  He almost looks like he has some Arab in him, IMO.  When watching him interact with the others you can still see him do the 'baby-mouth' occasionally which is so sweet.  I think we'll wait a few days until it dries up and if they're still getting along, we may release him to stretch his legs a bit.  He goofs around the corral occasionally and here he is letting out a little buck:
