Saturday's Horses - Pete and Maddie and The Neighbor Horse - [View all]

Who, it turns out, is female. She is The New Girl.


She's a friendly mare.



She has lots of room to roam around.

But if they're around she can keep her neighbors in sight.

A typical day for Maddie and Pete might start out
in their small pasture, around 6:30 a.m. or so.

A little after 8 a.m. they could be down in the big pasture,
the day turning out nice.

Less than an hour later, serious grazing,

continuing into mid-day.

After which we lose track until Laurie calls them in for dinner.

They know the routine, as Pete turns toward his grain bucket.

And whereas Maddie and Pete are only too ready to come in, their
neighbor may miss them. NG keeps looking over the fence
and whinnying occasionally.

But it's okay, New Girl, because tonight's sunset brings promise
of a new day tomorrow.
