Petting Percherons

Weston's Mom and Dad moved Jacque (Jackie...Jacky...), their mare, and Tom and Willy up to the ranch a couple of weeks ago. Tom and Willy are Percherons {n. A large draft horse of a breed developed in France, having a dark, often dappled coat.}

Weston's littlest bro Ammon, who was working at the ranch this summer, and his wife Leslie left to go back to college at the Y a few days after the horses came. So before they left, we had a BBQ for them at our house and then walked down to the barn to see Tom and Willy.

T and W are hugemungous! You have the feeling of being with Andre the Giant when near them.

Ezra got stung twice by one of the barnyard's million bees. I booked him on down to the creek to smear mud on it. He preferred dipping his shirt in the cool water to hold against his stinging stings instead.
