Very exciting day!!!

Today was really cool! I got to go out in the pasture:) (it's not really a pasture, but, it's a good 2 acres to run around on) See, after I got hurt, mom was always afraid to ever let me back out. Well, that and the fencing that was up was no match for me, hahaha! I don't know why those dumb older horses think that one little piece of white string stuff is so scary...they could just put their head under it and walk out, they are just dumb I guess. So, I only got to go out in the round pen. Now let me tell you, my bratty barn mate Forty gets turned loose all the time! It's not fair! She is dumb, too....she doesn't even realize there is no fence around the front but, she just stays around the barn and the back....pfffttt...I got out once and went on down the street to the neighbors;) It was waaay fun! You should have seen mom chasing me, lol...she can't run as fast as she used to.....silly humans, old age and cigarettes will do that.
Anyway, back to today. Mom was out working on the fence and finally said it was good enough for me to get out. Yay!!! She said if I was a good girl and the weather is decent, I could get out everyday and once a shelter is put up, I might get to stay the night out there.....it will be like camping!

In the beginning

I was born a little black filly with sexy long legs. Someone said, "Let's call her Hottie!" "Come here Hottie" "Pretty Hottie" "Hottie!" "Hottie!" "Hottie, hottie!" "Bad Hottie!" "Good Hottie!"....that was all I heard at first so, pretty sure that is my name.
And then I started growing and sadly, greying but, not too much. Still have the long legs but, due to an unfortunate freak accident as a weaner in a pasture during a snow storm, I have a scar on one of my pretty long legs:(
Alas, the vets say I will be fine and mom thinks it's time I earn my keep....EEEKS!! I really like being lazy though....*sigh*...guess, I will try to please her...she does give me lots of pets and treats:)
They have been making me run around that round pen lately and putting that saddle on me. Mom even got on my back once. Not sure what she was doing but, I stood very still so I wouldn't hurt her...she's old and fragile, you know?
That's all I've got for now. Mom is lazy, too so...not sure when any videos will be taken;)
