Rhaegal having a nap under his mother’s watchful eye.

This almost makes me want to cash out all my watches and get a house. Almost.

Is he a Thoroughbred? If so, do you know the names of his sire and dam?

No you don’t. Horses are beautiful, majestic creatures, live for 30+ years and represent expense and debt beyond your wildest dreams.

No, not a thoroughbred. I can’t remember exactly what his makeup is, but let me check with my daughter and I’ll get back to you. I know that he has a pedigree of some kind.

But my watches can't drive me around on a sleigh in the winter.

My grandfather kept a horse when he retired from dairy farming, and did odd jobs at a horse breeder to pay for room and board. In the summer I'd go help him clean the stalls and brush his horse. I remember the owner always wearing a T-shirt that said "I used to be rich until I fell in love with horses."

Boy, they are majestic though.

Here’s an update on Rhaegal - growing like a weed as you can see in this recent photo taken with his two mothers. 😁 And for Tony C., who wanted to know what type of breed Rhaegal is, the answer from my daughter is Dutch Warmblood.

I've been gone for too long and missed so many great posts...I hope I don't move again for a long time.
Handsome boy and what a strut.
