A Tale of Two Horses

Being a thoroughbred chestnut mare Gypsy had the expected characteristics of one. Erratic theatrical were only 2 of her facets. She was the matriarch to all horses. Very intelligent quick to learn and a good teacher to young horses. Surprisingly would accept help if hurt if she trusted you. She loved speed and jumping but the change of life after motherhood didn't upset her. Whoever originally broke her did a marvelous job. Her counterpart. Solo, was an attractive coloured pony, who when a foal resembled a Hereford calf. Something went very wrong in nthe gene department. He was cheeky and into everything. He, like Gypsy was intelligent and quick to learn and a good teacher to young horses. The ones he met who were bigger soon learnt who was higher in the pecking order. He loved his grub and put on weight easily. He adored Gypsy who treated him as her first foal. Such a love and great fun but a bit naughty.
