Jealousy

Well, so last week you know those horses that lived in the paddock next to ours, that handsome gray guy Mak and his buddy Ferris?  So Mak started chasing Ferris around and biting him.  At first we didn't pay that much attention to it because they are always screwing around and biting each other and jumping and playing  But that time, Mak was biting Ferris hard and he wouldn't let go.  Ferris was looking scared and he got tired from Mak chasing him and he had red marks all over him.  So the lady came out and she made Mak and Ferris move to separate pastures.  That made them both really unhappy so they yelled a lot and we could hear them even when they were in the barn.  So then after a couple of days they weren't yelling so much and here came the lady up the hill with that big white mare and her colt and then Taca and her colt and Peaches.  They all went in the barn and it was really fun to watch them go by.  It was like we had our own little parade so we all ran to the fence and  some of the ponies called out to their Mom when they saw Taca.  But Taca didn't want to talk to them, she was only interested in her new baby.  Then the next day a man came to the barns and when Mak came out of the barn, he was walking funny and he had red spots on his legs.  And Taca's colt did too!  So now they are walking fine and the mares and foals are back in their pasture, but little Peaches is still stuck up in the barn. She has my dad Bob for company, but I don't think he is very good company because he mostly just likes grown up mares.  So anyway, Peaches learned to wear a halter and have her hooves trimmed and to walk around with the lady at the end of a rope.  She gets lots of grain and carrots to do the stuff, so she is very lucky.  But I am kind of worried because she is super cute and I am afraid she is going to think she is more glamorous than me and Fiesta.  (Fiesta is still fuzzy, so no real competition there....)  That Peach'es winter coat is just about all shed and since she roaned out she is this shiny golden peachy color.  It almost makes your eyes hurt to look at her, she is so bright.  Even her mane is golden-colored.  I am thinking I might not like that Peaches too much....
