effexI'm at my parent's house for the weekend - my sister moved to college on Saturday and all hands were needed - and I decided to take the opportunity and snap photos of the new fillies for some friends (who have been very patient). And, hey, why not share them here too?
The herd coming in to see what the human's doing - I should maybe point out that these are miniature horses (the tallest in this photo, the sorrel/red in the middle, is 36 inches at the shoulder). This isn't the whole herd either, just the mares, babies, and one of the geldings. Raising and showing 'em's my mom's hobby.
Meet Pipsqueak (3 months old, on the right) and Seeker (2 months old, on the left). Not their full names, on the off chance someone Googles the ranch and real life and fandom collide. And explode, or something equally horrific XD.
The girls again - Pip's a silver dapple paint (her color, yes?) - she's got three white socks and a white patch on her butt. Seeker's a diluted buckskin (her mane and tail should be black, but quirky genetics say otherwise). She's not really two colors, just partially shaved (it's *really* warm down here and she's a fuzzy baby).
Seeker says hi!
You can just see Pip's white markings here, they run up her left rear foot to her tail.
Seeker again.
And Pip.
Pip's older sister, Crystal.
Seeker with her mom, Ellie.
A random herd shot - that's Pip's mom, Echo, in the middle.
And that's the kids!
