"has been just as good for you, your wife and KC as it has been for Shadow." I answered it has been and included my wife's twenty-year-old paint mare Maddie as part of our pet family. I've not spoken of Maddie until now because I didn't know if she'd be considered a "pet".

We think she is, but I ask you all if she belongs in this Forum. If she does, great — if not we'll post her pictures in Photography only. Thank You for your feedback!

Maddie grazing away yesterday.

Please see Maddie's first posting in Pets, for more photos. Thanks! George

Maddie is her "barn name." She's registered as Madrigal. She has a half brother called Pete and the two of them made the move ahead of us to board with a good friend while Laurie and KC and Shadow and I got settled in. Pete's still boarding because he's become a riding lesson horse for our friend's seven-year-old son. Laurie has conducted the lessons. Both horse and rider have benefitted. Here are the two of them.

Pete's due to join us the end of this month.

Since coming here Maddie has adjusted nicely. She and Laurie have done some riding.

Our sweet girl.
