Babies!

Saturday morning we were at the farm. I mentioned I wanted to go check out the baby horses and see how big they had gotten in only 3 months. So we drove out there to pay them a visit, bringing with us some apples from the apple tree. They had been moved out into a back pasture so we had to squeeze through the barbed wire fence and walk to the other end to see them. They weren't about to come running, giving up their grazing, just to see us. Molly and Dolly (the mothers) were grazing away and the babies were rolling in the grass and soaking up the sun.

Both babies are about 12hh now and they're legs are as big around as Axel's and they're only 3 months old! We played with them for a while. Watched them chase the dog around and try to climb up on their mothers and generally just run around silly. We tried to give them apples but they weren't quite sure what to do with them. Willie would just pick one up and toss his head around. He almost got a bite out of one but not quite. It's funny how alike they looked when they were tiny but now they've both gotten different color coats, and totally different personalities. Willie is playful and curious. Wilma is a bit more shy and cautious, but she didn't mind me scratching her hindquarters. Unfortunately we couldn't play all day and we had to finally leave. I'll definitely have to go back and visit them and see how big they get.
