It was such a nice night (despite being somewhat cold) that I took some time to work with Minnow. We practiced &#8220;drinking out of a bottle&#8221; and I even began worked on the beginning steps to having Minnow stand on his pedestal with all 4 feet. I took some videos that I fully intended to post this morning &#8211; that is until Blitz happened!<\/p>\n<p>Blitz or Chesapeake Lightning was purchased by me last May and several months later I ended up selling him to my Mom. I still consider him &#8220;one of my own&#8221; even if I don&#8217;t technically own him. Now when I say &#8220;Blitz Happened&#8221; I mean he pretty much stole me away from Minnow with his quirky antics and his beautiful face. That beautiful face of his is what made me buy him in the first place. As soon as I saw him I fell inlove instantly &#8211; something about him is just\u00a0memorizing, and I&#8217;ve never had a horse quite like him. I think he thinks he&#8217;s human. Just see for yourself&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=2074496&amp;id=26602747&amp;l=c38f7c7ec5\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
