The Pitter Patter of Tiny Hooves


I suppose it was only a matter of time.

We have now added another equine member to our family. Through the help of a friend, I was able to get him for a steal of a deal. He has been very sweet, laid back, and is a super fast learner! He is not quite a year yet, so it will be quite a while before he is ridden.

Over much debate about names, we settled on the name Rafferty. So here is a pic, and stay tuned for further adventures, as our horse family has grown from one to two!
