My 9-year old son C. and the very very new colt in the pasture next door. This little colt will let me near him and allow me to touch him, but I can tell he is just a little leery of me. When C. approached him on this beautiful March Saturday, the colt frolicked away a few steps, all full of himself. C. was very disappointed and turned to walk away from him, saying, "Oh, mom, he's not going to let me near him." Just as the words were out of the little boy's mouth, the colt stopped his frolicking and turned towards C., ears pricked forward, tail flicking, full of interest. He took a few steps towards my son who was still walking away when I said, "Look, C! He wants to see you!" C. turned back towards the colt and walked towards the little fellow, who stood very still and seemed to welcome C.'s interest. He and C. remind me of each other. Long legs and all.
