NickerDoodles: Adventures of Fiesty Filly
In Melanie Eberhardt’s latest comic, Fiesty Filly proves that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the pasture–which doesn’t bode well for Sweet Gelding.
Melanie writes, “Many years ago I bred my Bossy Mare. When the filly was old enough to wean, I turned her out with Uncle Sweet Gelding. I thought he’d be a great baby sitter and not be too rough with her. I was certainly caught off guard when she ran him into the ground. Size doesn’t seem to matter in the pasture, its all about attitude!”
Check out Sweet Gelding and Bossy Mare in real life! (Can you tell which one is which?)
About Melanie:
I am an artist in Atlanta. When I’m not painting, I’m riding horses. I have 3 retired Arabians and a snotty pony at home. They keep me on my toes. Three years ago I bought a young OTTB straight off the track. My new fella, Bubba, and I are learning dressage. Sadly, I’m the weak link on Team Bubba, but I learn something every time we ride so it’s all good. I started NickerDoodles to document the horsey antics that abound within my world. I’m very fortunate to balance my life with things that I love – painting and riding – and NickerDoodles gives me a forum to share. If we’re not laughing at our horses and ourselves, we’re probably crying. I prefer to laugh! I hope everyone enjoys NickerDoodles.
