Bella Arrives! Feb 20, 2011

Bella arrived on February 20, 2011.  She's a very sweet girl. She does need some ground manners (typical Curly), rather bargy being led, but that's easy stuff.  She seems very submissive, a very nice girl.  She called to my girls once, they came running over to the gate to say Hello, and she immediately dropped her head and sniffed the dirt.  She checked out her paddock, checked the fenceline (I love it when they do that), found the water and the shed (and pooped in it), then started looking for hay.  She said hello to the girls over the fence, then settled down to eat.  She was looking around wide-eyed, taking everything in, but not nervous or jumpy at all.  Here are some pics.
Meeting the girls....

 You can see she was sweaty during the ride, Tom (the hauler) called and said they had to swing south after picking her up, and it got warm and humid and she was sweating, but then she was fine when they headed back North again. 
So I gave her a nice brush-down and she enjoyed that.










What a pretty face!  She's definately a palomino sabino with a bald face.  And that mane and tail!  Long hanging below her neck and thick on both sides, and that immense tail!
 
And she kept checking in with me while I was standing there watching her eat and settle in.
