"We got to see a zebra!" said Emerald. …
Soon he expects to have a new critter vying for affection. A pony was expecting and the suspected father was the zebra. Which of course, means the new addition to the farm will be a …
"It's a zorse," Baird said, with a laugh. "Because the kids named it that."
