Edition of 25 10" X 10" $2350 Brood mares spend a lot of time in the shade, napping, swapping stories
and waiting for the new crop of colts to arrive. By standing
head to tail, they keep the flies from the other’s faces with a lazy swish
or two of their tails. And a good friend can sure relieve a nagging
itch by gently chewing on a hard to reach spot. Friendships and pecking
order can be recognized by observing who’s sharing the shady spots.
And you must be a special ole nag if your best friend is the bell mare,
because she’s the lead mare of the herd. I’m not sure what they talk
about during these matronly siestas but I guess it’s the same as other
mothers. Like bragging about raising the biggest and strongest
baby last year – bad hair days – Insincere male relationships – grown colts
gone bad and why the new mare acts like she does. You know -
