here is where i’ll share info about the newest addition, Billy Blaze, an American Bashkir Curly Horse.

the American Bashkir Curly is a really interesting horse.  they are hypoallergenic, smart, sweet and very people friendly.

this is a comparison that i put together of billy.

i took a picture of him the day after i got him and then one the next month and then one last month.

it’s so interesting to me how his body has changed!

 we play lots of games together.  he will load into a horse trailer all by himself (but hates to actually GO anywhere…) he walks over the bridge, and backs up onto it as well, he can back through any door way or gate, i trim his feet easily.  he is a great partner.  i can’t wait to see what we will accomplish!

billy LOVES his ball....
