Talking Brought home Star's new friends! (pics!)

4.5 hrs driving, 112 deg heat, went through a little town called Centralhoma (wonder how they came up with that one.....)
And we managed to get them home!

Exactly!! Nope no names yet... I'm thinking something celestial to go with Star (she came w/ her name).

I have a celestial herd of horses! We have Star and Stella who are both preggo. (Came that way from the rescue). They're both jet black and when their foals are born they'll be Sirius and Corvus for colts or Lyra and Andromeda for fillies.

They are4 all adorable! So glad Star has some friends now & before you know it they will all be best of buddies!
Are you wethering the little buck or keeping him as an intact male?

Nice trio there, however, Star does NOT seem impressed. After a little while, she won't remember how she got along without them. I like the flashy doeling!

Well they seem to be getting along right as rain now. We're really enjoying them. We don't know much about their background, so testing, etc to commence.

The buckling, we're undecided. I'm not overly crazy about him but Hubby is in love, lol
We're getting an unrelated buckling on Friday.... SO, either the boys are gonna have to go to a bachelor pad soon (little guy is very interested...as to be expected I suppose O.o) or he's going to have to be sold/wethered. I know a lot of people line breed....but they're a little too close in relation, imho lol
As per the berries, they're there, I assure you... they're also in my van which now smells like a petting zoo, complements of the 2 hr drive home lol....thank goodness I have a steam cleaner (on the list today)...
