Young Allegra comes to live with us.

Back on the 14th January in a post called Now we are seventeen, I introduced the two miniature horses, Dancer and Grace, that came to be with us.  In that post I mentioned,

Jean is holding Dancer while Grace is waiting by the fence.  Our original plans had been to take Dancer’s sister’s foal Allegra, but she was too stressed to leave her mother so soon; she is just six months old.  As an interim, we borrowed Grace, Dancer’s last foal, until Allegra is ready to move homes.

Well yesterday Allegra was ready and came over to join Dancer while lovely Grace returned to neighbour Margo.  Just wanted to share some pictures from yesterday.

Margo, her arm on Allegra, and her husband, Clarence, holding Allegra’s mother Keepsake.  The two horses had come over together so as to offer comfort to young Allegra, now just 7 months old.

Allegra is on the left getting to know her new grounds.  On the right is Aunt Chloe who came to spend the night here with Allegra to minimise any separation anxiety.

Close up of Dancer’s nose!

I’m sure Pharaoh is wondering how long it will be before there are more horses than dogs!

oooOOOooo

Finally, on a completely different theme …
