If you build it, they will come...

...ponies, that is. We finished the fencing and box stalls, and yesterday these two arrived! We adopted them through the SD&G OSPCA.


Mare on the left, gelding on the right. They don't have names yet, poor things!



Girlie is very sweet, 12 years old, and blind in this eye. I want to get that coat and mane of hers all brushed and prettied up.


She's just a lovely pony!


She has a stall next to her boyfriend for now. They are very attached to each other.


He's three years old and you can tell! Btw, my nose is red from the cold, not drunkeness. I woke up to a fine layer of snow on the ground this morning.


Somebody thinks hemlock is tasty. Sigh...

More to come, but I'm already in love.
