Otis update!

CHF Otis has made his first trip to Tulsa, OK with Traveler.  Traveler did an outstanding job as the driving demo and Otis was the epitome of the true gypsy vanner, calm, friendly, mannerly, and if horses could smile...he did.  First time away from farm, first time on a trailer, first time in a stall, lots of firsts for a seven month old.  We look for all this plus good conformation in our babies.  It is the magic that attracts so many to the breed.  You may think....it is the hair.....well, to some degree it is.  But would you love all that hair if the horse was in a constant state of anxiety, throwing it's head, stomping, pushing, etc.....No, I don't think so.

The weather has turned cool, the rain has put most of the color to the ground, and the wind coming from the North is winter air.  The horses are wearing winter coats and so am I.  Tex, our senior citizen is still at liberty in the people area of the farm, but we will set him up with friends and a place out of the wind before long.  At 31, he has earned the run of the place.  Enough for now....have pictures to look at and post asap!!!  Good Day!
