Happy Easter from Danni and Sootty



Danni and Sootty today

The two old friends celebrated Easter with a long hack through the country lanes and bridlepaths today. The countryside has never looked lovelier as Sootty strode along, his twenty three years, forgotten. The elderly Holstein and the young Spanish Stallion look forward to their outings together, and stride along in perfect harmony, with a strange bond that has grown up between the two polar opposites, the original odd couple.

I think they were thinking about their lunch rather than pricking their ears for a photo but they were happily mud spattered as they settled to snooze for the afternoon with just enough time to wait for tea together.

  2. No - we bought him as a small black foal at four and a half months old and he has now grown so large that I need a box to get on - he likes to get in touch with his Iberian alta ego, though so I sure he will be flattered!
