Sweetie and Katie

We've all seen those photos -- the doting horse owner smooches her helpless pet while posing adorably for the camera. The expression on the horse's face often tells a different story - like, "Omigosh, woman, what is wrong with you anyway?"

Here, however, is a picture which tells a different story.  This is Sweetie (not the one at my barn but another nurse-mare foal, a former playmate of Bridget's) and her new friend Katie.  I think Sweetie looks very content, don't you?
