Vote for Petey
Petey is known on marestare.com as “Petey, the prenatal peacock” because of his uncanny ability to pick the next mare to foal.
He needs a bio “Petey: Likes short walks through the barn and the occasional goose chase. Oversees horse births from the rafters to provide medical advice. Extremely social and teaches that bald is beautiful by strutting his stuff with confidence when he looses his tail feathers.”
