Two of our (TWELVE!) chestnut mares have gone off to foster with our dear friend Manuela, adopter of alumna Freya. Clarissa and Tulip headed to Manuela’s place this past weekend to live alongside Freya and Manuela’s other mare, Mocha. The two of them loaded right up, trailered right out, and settled right in to their new digs. Manuela — er, Tulip, rather — provided us with the following update:
“So, we (that is, mostly Clarissa since she isn’t here to say otherwise) broke the hinge of the gate between us. Ms. Manuela didn’t look very happy but didn’t say anything. Good! While she was fixing it, Clarissa and I (really Clarissa) decided to sneak past and switch paddocks. Oh what fun this was. Ms. Manuela ran after me and I showed her how beautifully an Arabian can prance. I even gave her a mud shower. She decided to go after Clarissa but that made no difference to Clarissa because she was busy eating my hay and wasn’t moving. So I ate hers. Gate is fixed. I have the view to the back now. I only wish Ms. Manuela would run after me again. It was really funny
Well, we eat, we poop, we rearrange gates… we’re happy!”
