Remember that thing I did?

The midlife crisis thing?

Yeah.



Meet Finn.



He's a weanling. Just got here this week from the breeder.

Dear breeder: baby horses should be raised OUTSIDE in SOCIAL GROUPS. Delivering a five month old weanling who does not know what grass is and cannot read social cues from other horses is a crime.

On the plus side, he leads and ties once you can get a hand on him and he is improving at grass and social cues via tutelage under Casper, Try's elderly, kind, fond-of-babies mare.

I would have more pictures but he's weedy and narrow with zero muscle tone and does not take a good picture at the moment.

The Type 1 people are not generally out and about Doing Stuff with their Arabs so it's a lot harder to run into them unless you are dipping toes into the Arab pond. Type 1 folks do breed shows, but they don't often venture out into other activities. You won't see one at an open show, at the county fair, on an "everyone welcome" trail ride & cookout, at a competitive ride, at a rated dressage show, at a clinic for much of anything, out team penning, in a parade, doing a hunter pace, etc.

Ah. Yes, they might get contaminated by those 'other' people. Makes sense. lol
