Meet Wickersham Wall, aka Nick

Postby CountRaja » Mon Sep 24, 2007 7:35 am

By Mount Mckinley out of Sister Bonnie (Saint Ballado), he's quite the entertainer (and a future event horse!)

He spends his days sunbathing and harrassing the other horses. Although we love him very much here he is often though of as quite girly and a big push-over (note the 10 inch healing wound on his chest from being chased into the pictured fence a few weeks before, that fence was being replaced that day hence the reason for not replacing the boards that he remodeled that morning). He expects to be waited on hand and hoof, maybe he should have been a racehorse! Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment!

Hmm, what kind of trouble could I possibly get into with a lunge whip?

If I could just. . . reach. . .

Now, they hold it down here. . .

Ah ha! Look out world!

Spending my days sunbathing. . . it's hard being 2

Can you get me a drink? With a little umberella in it? a PINK one!

Very enjoyable, thank you CountRaja.

He does chase the goat around with large sticks, and now the lunge whip when it's in reach. He finds it quite entertaining, though Louie the goat doesn't really appreciate it. . . :wink:

What a cute series of pictures!

We had a mare once that picked up a ewe by the wool and tossed her. Seriously. We had just brought the mare home and didn't realize just how serious she was about feeding time. The ewe wasn't even in the same paddock, but apparently the mare thought she was after her grain, so she reached over the fence and grabbed her and chucked her. The ewe stayed a little farther away from the fenceline after that. :shock:
