Diamonte
Diamonte
Diamonte (aka Monte) is an Australian Thorobred who came to us years ago to keep Crissy company. He spent most of his life as a polo pony in New York and Wisconsin. He is a wonderful guy, 28 years old and still going strong, just slowing down a bit. 

Monte has come through another winter and is going strong! He is hooked on sugar cubes and loves his new pasture. He has learned many new games from Casper, including playing ball, tug of war with Casper, using the hose from the water tank, and spirited games of tag. He is so tolerant of Casper's quite juvenile behavior--if Monte decides to nap in the sun, Casper spends that time teasing him, by standing on him with his front feet, pulling his mane and tail and chewing on him! Somehow, Monte manages to sleep through all of it! 

Monte is wonderful and in his latest picture (far right) I caught him trading secrets with my little Piper poopsie! Piper thinks Monte is a big sheep and they visit across the gate quite often. Monte is benefiting from a change in supplements this year too and came through the winter much better--with more weight and shiny as can be--surely does not look like he is 28 years old at all. My Grandmother Holtz would have told me to put a 'sack of flour' on his head to keep him from getting older! (actually the quote had to do with us getting taller but oh well!) He is still so patient with Casper but definitely keeps that little bugger in line if he steps over!
