Foal is making good progress

Winnie's colt foal is turning into a lovely little fellow. Still a bit shy with strangers, he is happy out in his small family herd and with me handling him on a daily basis. He is extremely patient when tied up in the paddock, and he loves being brushed. He bravely masters lifting his hooves for me, he had his worm doses with no complaints. Overall, a smart little horse, happily learning the first steps of living alongside and being handled by humans.
We also go on brief outings with Winnie in the trap once a week. Unfortunately, there is not much off-road riding around here, and it would'n be great for his growing bones and hooves to walk on hard ground more often.
And of course, he loves his bigger sister who should be called Ms Patience, as she endures his boisterous approaches with a happy face!
