Helix the horse

Like a lot of people, I coped with the pandemic by adopting a dog. My friend and fellow model horse hobbyist, Teresa Buzzell, went a step further. Look at her pandemic pet.

This is Helix of Solstice. He is a four year registered Trakehner, who is also half Arabian.

Teresa's first horse, Flick, was a pinto, and she really, really wanted spots this time, too. Despite that, she ended up with a plain bay, with two low socks, a barely there snip and a few white hairs on his forehead.

It's okay. A good horse is never a bad color. 

Teresa is still sorting out saddles, so yesterday wasn't a riding day. 

Instead, it was a lunging day.

It's easy to see why Teresa sacrificed the spots. Helix is a good mover.

More importantly, he has a really good brain.

I foresee a long, happy, successful partnership for these two.

Congratulations, Teresa. I love your pandemic pony!
