Vortex and Hope were born in our barn on 20 September, or the night before, and greeted me that morning as I came to let them out of their stall for the day.

Vortex was named for a swirl marking on his forehead, and another of his side, as well as his tendency to be a constant whirlwind of activity.  He is also the dominant brother and afraid of nothing.

Hope is much calmer and quieter in general, and much less trusting of me, although  he is beginning to allow me to pet him from time to time.  But usually he runs like wildfire.  I'm having a ball with them both.  Kids.  ;-)
