That's dos corderos, Wickie!
My cousin in Roscrea breeds hunters (big horses) and other livestock. They also have lots of grandchildren, it is a very lively house, always lots of activity and fun, probably like yours!
I was there in June.
For a while they had a lamb who got attached to one of the grandchildren, (2 years old) and followed him everywhere. When he kicked a ball, the lamb would kick it back.
It was hilarious! He was named McGrath, after an Irish Footballer.
That lamb was pretty smart though, he should have gone to market but because of the little guy he was kept as a pet.
One of the other grandsons had his own little Shetland pony. But that wasn't what he wanted. He preferred to sit on one of the biggest hunters. His legs were not long enough for stirrups, so he rode bareback, totally fearless.
As you know, horses are smarter than people think.
That big horse knew he had precious cargo on board, and was extra gentle.
There are such precious memories to keep, when you are a "farm baby"!
