Wednesday Whinnies


Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! #1 told me yesterday that she was leaving for a while tomorrow. It made me sad, but I know I will still get lots of cuddles, and Ms. N has promised to take lots of photos! So, even though I was in the middle of my nap...


--- I agreed to get up when she told me this was our last chance for a ride together until August. It was a beautiful morning and it was really nice to go explore!



There were French Air Force jets in formation flying in the sky, but it didn't worry me!  I am always happy to make my #1 proud!

And here I am afterwards, waiting for my treat bucket:


Here is one more photo of me, taken a couple of days ago. #1 says I look ready to take part in a beauty competition (known as "halter classes" in the horse world...):



Vidock: Dum DeDum DeDum.... Oh! Neighs Everyone! How are you doing?


I guess there is a kind of sameness to my posts at the moment...


But I do have something fun to report today! I have a brand-new half-brother! His name is Duc de Prainville and he was born last Friday night. His daddy is Papa Orgueil, just like me!

Here he is on his very first outing yesterday, with his Mama, Impériale:


And here he is, trying the gallop for the very first time!


Live long and prosper, little brother!


PS: A quick update from Poupounette Central - Ms. R arrived safely last night and we all like her!

  9. Violette that is so great the the jets didn't bother you. Most horses I have known would not walk nicely under those. Keep up the good work. Vidock your little half brother is such a cutie. It is hard to imagine he will grow up to be just like you someday.

    So glad to hear you like Ms. R too.

  14. You are looking beautiful Violette. Your half brother is cute Vidock. We love to see the babies with their long gangly legs that go off in all directions when they try to gallop.
