The Colt

I never really thought my parents were "horse" people.  However, lately they have started adding a few "horses" to their farm.  Dad owned a pony when I was in high school.  He brought home this UGLY green antique tractor, a Massey Harris 'Pony'.  It was a misfit on the farm for multiple reasons:  it was green and should be red (no really, it was painted red when it was new from the factory).  It was one of the last tractors I worked with him to restore, but it found a different farm to call home.  

 

Mom and Dad have decided they want to own all four horses made by Massey Harris: the Colt, Mustang, Pacer and Pony.  Over the winter he purchased this gem.... a Massey Harris Colt.  

 

 So to be cute, I put a "my Grandpa drives Massey Harris" bib on Toby. 

This action inspired several photos.

I love this picture of Toby and Poppy. 

The girls had to go out and see the tractor, too! 

It was a quick visit, but we really enjoyed having house guests and the "new" "horse" overnight!
