Just the light. It was really dark this morning so we had the flash on. The little bumb over her eye is from shipping. Just rubbed hair and she should be super beautiful again soon!

That is the light, and the normal tapetal reflection from the back of a horses' eye

Not sure.... I have yet to see him in person. My farm manager in NY recommended him to me and we will get to see him next Saturday or Sunday.

Did you name that horse, or did he come that way?

He came that way. (Wiseman's Ferry - Sued)
My six year old wanted to name him Wind Devil.... He was not happy at first but seems to have gotten over it....

Got a chance to see SWLY yesterday. Boy, is she impatient! I couldn't get the peppermints unwrapped fast enough. She was so impatient she started kicking the stall with her left hoof until I delivered. Once she got her mints she was as sweet as ever. She made a friend for life with my wife. Her next door stallmate is a big colt named Elite Squadron who's going in the Amsterdam today. They had to add a partition above the regular wall between them to keep them apart. Maybe that's her new beau. Anyway, she looked and acted great.

Yeah, that leg kicking action scared the **** out of me, she was banging that metal hook, she has a great personality though
