The New Addition: A Miniature Horse!
The owner of the farm where we keep our farm-sized animals surprised us by adopting a miniature horse over the holidays. This little mare came from the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue. She wasn't abused, but the previous owner had more animals than he could take care of, so he gave her up. We believe she is around three years old. She looks to be in good shape, other than she is a little on the heavy side, which is a fairly common problem with miniature breeds.
Like many of the animals at the farm, she is going to be a group project between me, my wife, and the farm owner -- our friend Steve. First thing on the list: give her a new name. Her previous name was Stitch, which none of us like. Given her wild hairstyle, I was thinking perhaps we should name her Tina (after Tina Turner), but not everyone agrees. Any suggestions?
Our vet comes to meet her on Tuesday to evaluate her and get her vaccines up-to-date.
