Attention Clare and Joan...

Guess what found its way into the lower North paddock? Its big...its black...about as wide as two normal horses...and the ground shakes when it trots...yes, we have a Friesian again! This one is a big 5 year old gelding. Built much like Ayla though, with a gorgeous wide chest. Not the thick long mane though...we will have to work on that. His name is Gjelt. It is pronounced "Bob". Kidding...actually it is pronounced "Yelts". Go figure.

Along with him came a very nice 3 year old chestnut QH gelding named Aiden. Aiden is nice, just over shadowed by Gjelt's presence. He is a nice big boy, and looks very well built and althetic. He was trying to play the tough guy and keep Gjelt from danger by prancing around like an arab around him. For some reason the tail in the air just doesn't work for non-arabians.

Pete will be going home soon. He has turned out to be a nice little dressage horse, and definitely has "the look", so hopefully Wendy can join us at some shows with him next year.
