Golden Christmas and White Boxing Day


Check it out! One of my clones was on the cover of an American Girl catalog this holiday season!




Apparently Mom's not the only one who knows I can pull off powder pink!


(me)
And now, as promised, here's the latest from our HI2 adventures.

Just like on last Christmas, we fluted a +4/6 Highland. Julie and Jolly had the honor this year. Maybe HI2 knows one of the classic Christmasy albums in our house is Scottish Christmas?



She's the same color as Julie's Highland, Wintergreen.



Since she wasn't a keeper and since it was Christmas, we decided to check out HI2's available horses in the auctions, livery, and ranch stores. No auction or livery horses tempted us, nor did I find my dream horse (a perlino or light gray Florida Cracker mare). When we got to the H's in the ranch stores, however, we finally got excited.

This awesome Halflinger was for sale! We have been hoping to find one for years, and there she was, just waiting for us! <3 We didn't have to look at any more horses. We knew she was the one!



Here is Pepsi taking her for her first ride, a circuit around Glacier Isle. =)


Ooh, such a classy avatar!
The story doesn't end there. The day after Christmas, we were still hanging out on the Glacier island complex. Felicity and Gromit used the flute out on the far end of Snowflake Isle. Guess who showed up?


a white gray stallion!

Does this sound familiar? It sure did to us!

December 31, 2014: we caught Jolly the +5/6 Russian Heavy Draft stallion


December 15, 2016: we fluted Tchaikovsky the +5/6 Orlov Trotter stallion


December 2018's model is also - you guessed it - a +5/6er!



Thanks, HI2, for keeping the December snowy stallion tradition alive!

I know we already have two wonderful Mongolian mares:


Poinsettia

Burgundy
...but I think this guy is too cute to pass up, especially since we've never had a horse from Snowflake Isle or a horse with the "strong, silent" personality in the herd before. <3 

Doesn't it just figure that as soon as we broke down and bought a horse, we'd flute a nice one the next day? XD Oh well, I'm just happy we're ending 2018 on a happy note!
