Introducing Storm ...

The beautiful neighbourhood horse.
He has a real fan club in our area,
we keep him supplied with carrots and apples.
An Anglo Arab gelding and I think about 14 yrs old!

He has a beautiful nature and loves his visitors,
and he gets very jittery when it's really windy!

What a Honey!!!!
