New horse!!!

Ok, so I haven't updated in FOREVER!!! But, lots has happened since my last update. I have a new horse!!!!
No, it wasn't the lesson horse I've been wanting to buy...
At 11:50pm on September 1st, Lizzy had a gorgeous chestnut colt!!! His name is Sebastian and he is SUCH a sweetheart. I think he's going to be pretty Left-Brained Extrovert, but we'll see.
I don't have any pics on this computer, but I will hopefully get some uploaded as soon as I get on the other computer.
Belle thinks he's pretty cool, but is extremely jealous of the attention he's getting. Tomorrow if it's a nice day I'm going to spend a few hours playing/riding her. We haven't had a good long session in awhile and we definitely need one.
Lizzy is such a great mom, it's the coolest thing watching her teach him stuff. From the very beginning you could see her gently instructing him to do certain things like, nurse, and stay at her side. She would softly correct him if he didn't follow her instructions. She was as soft as possible but as firm as necessary. Such a great example for training our horses. Pretty cool!
