Snow Rabbit is the only mare we have at this time and she has been bred to Spur. Her first baby is due near the end of March and we are hoping for a colorful colt!Snow Rabbit is a medicine hat, blue roan spotted American Gaited pony. She is the most talkative horse we have and she never fails to whinny when we come outside. Although she prefers to stay outside, she is eager to come into the barn and out of the wind for a couple of days every now and then. She is very sweet and comes running when she is called out in the field.
She doesn't like us to mess with her face too much, but we don't know why. We need to work with her on that. She is not trained for riding yet, but I did get one her back to see what she would do. She did nothing! She wouldn't even move! It was the weirdest thing I have ever experienced with a horse before. Even with some gentle kicks, she wouldn't budge. My husband got out one of our other horses to see if she would be persuaded to follow him, and finally, she walked around a little. I haven't been back on her since because we wanted to breed her.
I find myself dreaming about what he baby will look like and I pray God will make him colorful and gaited like his daddy. Maybe when I get to Heaven, God will give me the task of painting all the horses. That would be great fun!
