The Blue Eyed Tri-Colored American Paint: A Lesson in Trust for Baby

by Linda Wedding

When Baby-the blue-eyed, tri-colored Paint is brought to her new home at Grandma Kinner's farm by her new owners, Mom and Dad, she recognizes horses and goats she had known at the rescue where she had been boarded along with her real mom. As she adjusts to her new life without her real mom, she becomes good friends with the horses and goats that were adopted by her owners for their granddaughters (grandgirls), of whom Baby is very fond. When she overhears the horses talking about something that she doesn't understand, it frieghtens her, and she squeezes out the gate in search of the grandgirls to see if they can help her. After getting distracted, she gets lost. She is found by the grandgirls and is brought back safely to the barn. Soon the other horses explain to her that she had nothing to fear.
