they go armed with and camera had people stop in to see them so far At five weeks they were still very much die babies but would dash out he gate to gawk at the big wide world every eliancc they got Then they became quite forlorn and pitiful when they find their way back in again best forme was nap time Black Velvet would stand and drowse keeping a sleepy eye on her babies They would come trotting and tottering over to where I was sitting to be polled awhile then beside me This was a perfect opportunity to give hem a good going over Their manes were about two inches long and as soft fine as child s hair The colts is now beginning to lie down but the filly s is a bit wavy and slicks up m hltlc half curls all down her Their tails arc ridiculous like large fealhcr lacked on behind Their flipping docsn t disturb the flies too much so the twins usually stand under Velvet till where they get the full fly of its sweep Sometimes if you said to the colt Lot me sec your he his neck out roll his dps back display four enormous that filled the whole front of his mouth Those rcsllcss teeth were forever fastening onto any pin of anybody that was available The colt baby began to come out and he tin around a woolly body and a smooth shiny rump but the filly was still M baby I rolled her over in the hay and brushed her down marvelling the softness of her underside It was almost like rabbit fur Mostly those days we just lay and talked We Hiked about hawks and my mousing eat who always joined us my who joined her and of the pasture The was j great fascination them Velvet kept

than horses running the pomes Daisy dark brown a black mane and tail had Grey Chestnut with a blonde mane and tail Morgy the yearling dark brown coming out in her spots with dark nunc and white tail Hot on the of tint group is the colt a bright chestnut so up in the joy of running that he pulled ahead of his mother who after so many months ot the racing is leaping and kicking every few steps Her winter coat is just about gone and hir black coat gleams and shines with every pull of her muscles And then comes filly Poor litllc Sparrow She gels the worst of it lvcry time Velvet decided run Sparrow is standing under her out of the sun looking out from under her mothers tail By the time she collects herself after the whirlwind of legs had tone by she been left behind and tears desperately
