It has been a very long time since I wrote a few words on Whoopi. Not much has been happening except that we are trying to get ourselves through a pretty boring winter with lots of grey weather and rain after the snow was gone.

Meanwhile Whoopi has been chipped at the beginning of January. All horses need to be chipped in Belgium without exception. So she is now finally registered on my name, YIPPEEE. When you do this you also need to choose if your horse can still be slaugthered for human consumption. NO, of course, the good thing is once you make that choice no one ever after you owning the horse can change this !

Since a few days Whoopi has got the company of the 2 year old foal Layla and wow is she happy about that. Both are very happy. When you sometimes see them together it looks like there is glue between them ;-) Pictures of the two together will follow in the coming days.





The little spot is where the chip has been inserted, she didn't blink an eye when the vet did it !


Some more winter pictures. On the picture below on the left some herd members are looking at Whoopi who is standing next to them but in another part of the meadow. We discovered that Whoopi does not like having a lot of other horses around her. One other horse is OK, more is too much for her and then she starts panicking and loosing her head. Every time we try to put her with the other horses she keeps on standing at the gate to get her out of it. So for the time being she has a space for her own untill we find a better solution for her.
