A little horse..

Almost a month ago I brought home a little filly, not even a year old. They called her Ink Four Nutmeg, but I named her something sweeter. She is going to be my show horse, and this spring we will start our journey to collect some ribbons. I still call her Nutmeg, it just seems to fit.

Nutmeg is a Paint. She is a sorrel sabino overo medicine hat. She has one blue eye and one brown with blue flecks. She is mostly white with very little brown. She is just too cute. She looks as sweet as she is, Nutmeg is by far the calmest, sweetest filly I've had the pleasure of working with. She learns quickly, and strives to please.

I first saw Nutmeg when I glanced at her ad online, she was just a weanling but I was in love with her looks. I kept watching her for several months, back then she cost way too much for a college student to afford. Then in February I glanced on the local craigslist and found her for $900! I e-mailed her owner, went out to see her, and $800 later I came home with my new best friend. A little horse called Nutmeg, not even a year old.


Nutmeg when I went to see her for the first time. Her coat is very soft. (Please ignore the date on the pictures, the camera I used is broken and I can't change the date.)



A picture of her pretty blue eye. Her ears are brown because she has the medicine hat markings.



She has a very pretty face and lovely head. Nutmeg is a medicine hat but she is not a 'Perfectly marked' medicine hat because she has other coloring aside from the brown cap on the top of her head. She is still perfect to me.

In this blog I will be sharing Nutmeg and I's experiences together as she grows up into a lovely mare. Including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
