Red is such a remarkable spirit, we went to Massachusetts today to see the Blue Star Equiculture farm, a rescue and rehabilitation for draft and working horses. I will post other photos and text, including an album on Facebook, but first I have to see a word about my amazing dog who walked into the pasture and straight into several giant horses who were curious about him. He simply stood still and let them sniff one, one horse nipped at his back, another tried to head-butt him, Red just slipped under the fence and lay down.

This dog does not rattle, he knows how to handle himself anywhere. I have never seen a more grounded creature. I have to say the horses were beautiful, mystical, grounded and surprisingly gentle. And good thing, they are enormous. More about them later.
