Our herd has grown to 17 horses with the addition of Charlie, a fourteen year old Appaloosa gelding. Charlie is having a great time getting to know all his new pasture buddies and learning the herd’s daily routine. We thought we might have to keep Charlie separate for awhile so we could slowly introduce him to the herd, but he ran up to the fence and met everyone without any of the typical biting or kicking, so we let him in the pasture and he has fit right in.

Charlie is a red roan, meaning he has red hair flecked in to a mostly cream colored coat. His mane and tail are a strawberry blonde color. Yesterday he came up to the fence and I hardly recognized him – he had rolled in the mud, then let it dry, and it was caked on him – he was completely brown! We had to hose him off to be sure it really was Charlie underneath!

To meet Charlie and all his friends, come on out to Seventy-four Ranch.
