Inquisitive mare

While driving through Brampton today, I saw a paddock with several mares and their foals. Turned around, stopped, and took photos of course. :)

This horse (and one other) were particularly beautiful. I think they would have come closer to me if they hadn't had foals.

If you look closely at some of the pictures on my Flickr site (by clicking on this photo), you will notice that all the foals have a patch of shaved skin behind their right ears for a tatoo (I guess these are quite valuable animals). The foals don't look so cute with the bald spot, but thanks to the quasi-telephoto lens, you can *almost* read the numbers in the tattoos!
