Monty & Peanut

UPDATE on Peanut: Peanut has been adopted by his foster mom and dad. This once very frightened little boy now offers his nose for kisses and approaches humans in the pasture. As far as he’s concerned, most humans are his friends, and he will nuzzle for a treat. Peanut also had his feet trimmed for the first time and he was perfect for the farrier! He halters like a pro, and his foster mom, Mary, will soon be training him to tie safely. His behavior is as it should be for a very young colt, and Monty has helped to socialize him. His other big buddy is Rusty, a big sorrel boy, who plays with Monty and Peanut over the pasture fence. When Peanut’s foster dad, Del, leads him down from the pasture, and they pass Mary, Peanut plants his feet and is very insistent on getting his hug, rub and kiss from mom. Afterwards, he’ll go merrily into the barn for dinner. Monty and Peanut have come a very long way. Mary and Del, thank you for all the tender loving care you are giving these two special horses!
