Saturday we drove to Anderson and met Moxie, who is now known as Buster. Lynn wasn't so sure of him at first, but the more she rode, the more she liked him. We decided to go back on Sunday and go for a ride with him; so we loaded up Zigs and Jupes and away we went.
Buster loaded like a dream. He went right in--well until Ziggy reached over Jupiter's back to smell him. Then he backed out--surprised. But he went right back in. Ziggy leaned across Jupiter and sniffed him some more and Jupes sniffed him from the front; Buster didn't care. He is super easy going around other horses. (So far, anyway.) We rode around Jelly's Ferry for a bit and he went everywhere without any hassles. He did spook by some gray stumps, but we know they are scary sometimes.
Shirley liked him and so he came home with us. Long story short--he's on the hill with the boys. He seemed fine when I left. Star of course ran him around because all the piles of hay are his, but other than those few times, he seemed fine. He and Indy even shared a little grain and when he stepped away from the bowl, he did so calmly.
So now we have a "back-up horse." There's always more to the story--but it has to wait. Click on Buster and His new friends to see pictures of the new "orange horse with a star and a snip."
