May your trails be scenic. May your hay be abundant. May your friends be as nice as me, Songbird Sparrowgrass.

Short, Dark, and Handsome

 


When I first moved into this boarding barn, people were asking three primary questions: 

1) do you understand electric fencing? 

2) how long might you stay? 

3) will your name stay "Gus"? 


Now that folks have had a few days to get to know me, I'm steeling myself for new questions: 

1) how can we avoid burning our eyes on your blinding SHINE? 

2) will our mares ever settle down with someone so short, dark, and handsome in their midst? 

3) can I have a recording of your tuneful bray to use as my ringtone? 


I think I like these people and I'm almost certain they like me.

Yours cutely,

GusBird
