In the flesh! And in technacolor...

Without further ado, here is Riley in The Blanket.



The pix were taken on a windy, sunny afternoon in November (yesterday in fact), and Ri is hanging with his Dutch buddy Ely. These two characters belong together.  Ely had cycled through several potential herdmates -- no kicking or biting, but nudging is a torment of its own. Ely's mates came in with frazzled nerves, tattered blankets, and broken halters. He was banished to solo turnout. Then he met Riley.


Ely met his match in Riley, and their first day of turnout I watched Ely remove one of Riley's Valena brush boots and toss it over the fence. It was so gracefully done, Riley helpfully holding his foreleg out while Ely peeled back the tabs.

I just knew they belonged together.
