XALOC-my new horse!
He was given his name by a Spanish visitor. Xeloc is one of the nine winds in Catalan- the others that he remembered are Tramuntana, Gregal, Mestral, Llevant. The Xeloc is a mild southern wind- let's hope that my Xeloc takes on its gentle qualities, although this morning he was nothing but mild when we went for a little walk- quite stoppy in fact, rearing up all over the place and trying to bite me! But we will soon become friends...
