As we spent three days trying to get little Madge to drink, one question loomed in all of our minds: "Is she just that stupid?" We can now say confidently: "No, she's not stupid!" At two weeks old, Madge crossed her first bridge, on the first try, with no help from her equine mother.In fact, we prepared ourselves for a scene when we took the two out that day for the first time. We soon found that we had no need to worry. As we created distance between mother and daughter, Madge snorted, "Whatever. I don't need her. I'm a BIG girl." To which, Mom replied, "Oooo, fresh grass!"
It doesn't get easier than that!
