JOURNAL-
Evanescence, our newest horse, is settling in well. Even with Viper constantly stamping his feet and trying to nip her, she seems content. Its almost like she breathed a sigh of relief when she was caught and brought here; like shes home again. Later on after being checked over by the vet and quarantined for a week, I personally turned her out into a different field from Viper, that way they might learn to like each other but not injure. A bright flash of color at the end of the small field caught my eye as I released the mare's halter. I knew it couldn't have been Viper because he was in a different field to my left. I closed the gate and kept a careful watch on the shadowed treeline but I never saw it again. Walking back up to the stalls I went to tell the staff what I'd seen and expressed my hope that it may be another of Viper's strange kind. If indeed it was, the breed needed a name. Viper had scales, and horns leading us to believe he was crossed with some sort of reptile; how we don't know. One of the groomers spoke up and called him a Draygloth. It was an odd name but it somehow sounded right. Draygloths it is. God I hope that little flash of color is a mare Draygloth... I want so desperately to breed more of his beautiful kind.
On another note; Evanescence has been with a trainer to see what she'll do. For now shes a trail horse. Not quite in shape for the more strenuous disiplines, but she is showing promise in reining. She likes to please which is a great quality. More on this later. Need to muck out the stables.
