New Arrival - 'Rookie'

'Rookie' is the most recent new arrival at 'Hill Farm'.  He will be 'Zac's companion. They are both the same age, one born on the 1st and the other on the 3rd of May.

'Zac' is still with his mother 'Ester', the shire mare although very soon it is time for 'Zac' to be weaned. He has become a very unruly teenager, constantly mounting his mother and becoming quite a handful to handle when 'Jackie' has to lead him out or into the field. 'Zac' is due to be 'gelded' (castrated) some time in October, while he is still with his mother to keep him calm while he is healing.

Of course all here at the yard can resist sweet 'Rookie's face. He is a rather affectionate little fellow but still very shy. I don't know much about his background, 'Jackie' told me more than once but somehow it doesn't stick.

I will try and get some decent photos of him at some point.
