Munchkin spent six lonely months by himself after Frankie died. As much as Munch helped heal my heart and even though I spent a lot of time with him he really needed a pasture mate if I was going to keep him. Later in the year my good friends Brenna and Frank, whom I got Frankie from, made an offer I could not refuse. They needed a good home for their seven year old TWH gelding, Doc. He was born and raised by them, they own his sire and he was dear to them but with a farm and more horses that could be ridden often enough he was offered to me. I went to see him in August of 2011 and brought him home two weeks later. It was hard to think of having a new horse and yet as soon as Doc got off the trailer it was obvious that I made the right decision.
Here are some pictures from Docs first day.
Just off the trailer
First hellos
Friends?
Off to inspect the new diggs!
I have had Doc for four month now and he is wonderful. Munchkin is happy and they spend hours each day playing and running the track. I have taken Doc on many rides and I see a long and wonderful life with the two of them. It has been a year since Emma left us and almost a year since Frankie. So strange how life changes without warning. It has been an adjustment but I feel good again and am looking forward to the new year!
