Babies behaving badly...

Horse babies are so fun-loving and energetic. One can't help but be energized just by hanging out around them. I went out into the pasture this evening and spent an hour watching them play and tear things up.
The little sorrel filly is really working on her airs above ground. And eating her moms' tail. And terrorizing the other babies. And eating the new seats out of the gator. And stealing the keys out of the gator.
She loves to rear and buck and kick and strike and .... .....


The bay stud is starting to show some personality. He's a very shy, devious, and fractious. He loves harassing the other foals, and gets himself into trouble with the other moms sometimes. He's also getting to the age where everything goes into his mouth.
I think mom is starting to get a little irritated with him here...



The new baby tried some of the big-kid moves as well, but he's not quite ready for them, as you can see. He turfed it big time.

The others didn't show much sympathy. Little Halley is still trying to show him how to do the stunts the right way...
