  1. Our Horse

    Share Share Post
    We keep a chestnut horse. His name is "Rainbow". He is a very nice horse and is also very quite. He does all the farm work and brings home the turf in the summer.
    We bought him from a dealer from Sligo when he was but a little foal. We used to leave him out in the field with the donkey. The donkey and the foal were great friends from that forth.
    When the winter came we put in the foal and the donkey would not stay in the field after the foal so we had to put him in also
