A boy and his colt


A boy and his colt. This is my son Maddy and his new horse. This colt is so friendly and easy going he will be a bit of a challenge to keep him thinking he is a horse and not a human. Maddy has been haltering him and we are going to start leading him around soon, although he already has been led a bit.
He is calling him Zebra since he wore a zebra stripped coat for the first couple weeks after he was born. He was foaled in April and it was really cold out so he needed a bit extra to keep warm.
Zebra sees a person and leaves mom to come and check them out. He loves scratches and petting and is learning not to be nippy. He brings along a couple of his buddies at the same time so Maddy had been working with them slipping the halter on and off them as well.
