Stallion duties for a young stallion with a recently acquired band of mares who have known each other for a very long time and may or may not be quite yet “OK” with his takeover (however delayed) are exhausting. He kept an eye on another couple of bands in the vicinity (really, he did), but mostly, he took advantage of the break between rain waves to nap with his girls in the relatively warm sunshine.
As Flash greys, he looks ever so much more mature, even though he’s fairly small (relative to some of his mares, and this isn’t a good example, as they were on a hill, and Gaia was above him). But I still remember his super-cute black-and-white baby self. As I myself age, I find truth in the knowledge that our “babies” always will be babies to us. 🙂

Flash is probably exhausted after all of his newly-aquired stallion duties! A little nap is in order. I too remember his “super cute black-and-white baby self,” TJ. Wish he could have kept those unusual and pretty markings but he is still handsome arrayed in his new wardrobe – and obviously he’s attractive to the ladies!
I have a feeling that, while he’s usually very peaceful when I see him, he can get fierce! 🙂
A nap is good for everyone as they grow older! Flash still is handsome!
From firsthand experience, I wholeheartedly agree. 😉 And yes, he is!
Always
Handsome? 🙂 Yes!
