Have I introduced you to Duke and Daisy, our Haflingers that we use as draft horses?
Duke and Daisy are a team and they are trained to pull a wagon or things like plows to help us do farm work. Here is Duke pulling Frank in a cart.
Daisy is the mother of baby Buttercup. We didn't know Daisy was pregnant when we bought her and brought her home about seven months before Buttercup gave a surprise appearance. This is a picture of Buttercup on her birthday, May 5th, 2013. Could she be any cuter? What a wonderful surprise!
Just a week later, Buttercup finally got her name. As we weren't expecting her, we didn't have any names picked out for our new little lady. On May 10th, I walked out into the field to see how she was doing and there she was with her mom in a field filled with Buttercups. Our little Buttercup! What a nice addition she's been to our world! (I had to give momma Daisy a dish of grain to get her to stand still.)
