Adriana and I have a new member of the family. We brought Ilex home on Friday the 15th with the help of John & Susan Kuhn. He was a little reluctant to leave his mama, but he was very well behaved for the 3 hour ride home. We stood with him in the trailer for the extent of the ride and by the time we pulled into the driveway, we were all ready to be out of there. He walked down to his new home with a brave inquisitiveness. He had never seen cats before. He hadn’t walked on a hill before. I managed to get a decent picture of him during a moment’s rest. His little mowhawk mane and tiny chin whiskers blowing in the breeze. He is set to be the most photographed horse ever. Welcome home, pal!
What a beautiful portrait!
Ilex is my “nephew” (previously owned by my sister – Marianne and her husband Rick). I only met him once as I live out-of-state so I don’t have the bond that Marianne and Rick have with him. I know she appreciates your keeping her updated with photos since you “adopted” him because she is always forwarding them to me and the rest of our family.
I get a sense that Ilex has two wonderful and loving “parents” from the emails I’ve read and your post here. May he bring you much joy.
God Bless,
Mark Madere
He’s beautiful! Hope he has a wonderful life with you. I visit Marianne occasionally and saw him when he was born.
