Grimmie Update: 5.5 Weeks

The FarM's first baby, Grimmie, is growing like a weed. No, scratch that, a fine, well-rooted tree.

His favorite activity is departing from Peach's side to dart into the stall, bucking, running, and turning before returning to the outside.

Grim eats from his Mama's grain, and is preparing for a grain bin to call his own.

He is shedding out some around his muzzle and eyes, and the new hair is dark. Like, Peach dark. Oh, what color will he grow into? The excitement is killing me.

He's showing a tendency towards becoming a one-person horse. He strongly prefers 1-person handling him at a time. And he likes predictability, and stands quite well when I shut the half-door between Peach and him for handling time.

He won't eat treats from my hand yet, but loves scratches at his shoulder (just like his mom). What a hoot, learning more about Grim. We're loving it!
