We have been looking for a sweet, passive gelding... one that can keep Willow company (especially at night) during her long recovery. And also one I can ride and that will be good with the kids. This sweet boy is all that and more. He's a 7 yr old Gypsy Vanner gelding. ♥ I consulted with everyone about him, and Martha even went out to ride him and thoroughly check him out after we did. He is such a sweetheart... just a big lover, like a teddy bear! Nothing phases him. Nancy was especially excited about him, because she breeds Gypsy Vanners. She said we couldn't have choses a better breed for our needs. Oh my, is he darling. I love his bell bottom feet and his sweet whiskers! He's a bit hard to photograph though... as he follows me around like a puppy dog!
As independent as Willow is, she didn't do well alone and seems to be comforted to have another horse around. They are herd animals and need to be with other horses. Paloma and Charlie share a pasture, so we are hoping this guy will be the perfect companion for Willow. ♥ Now we just need to think of a good name for him... :)
