There are about ten horses in the field, i was leaving, so none of them were down by the gate. The far far right BIG draft boy is called Archie, and he is a right pain in the bum when you want to get horses in and out of the gate. hes the alpha male up there.
Not fun when you have to climb that hill and go catch someone!
This is Jet ( War Jet ) hes the boy ive been riding, as well as helping to care for.
Hes doing really well and hes an absolutely GORGEOUS boy!
Chip, his buddy, is behind him on the right a bit, just below where you cant see him. Both of these guys are very sweet sweet horses. Should be riding today, so ill see about getting some photos of them all tacked up.
Ill come back with more of Feather the mare and her foal Cocoa ( Houdini ) I dont know if cocoa is for sale or not... but ive been somewhat tempted to ask. He was born just when i started coming to the farm. So ive gotten to watch him grow, and get to know him. Hes a real doll and absolutely loves attention. He loves to escape too(like when you bring food to mom)
hence the nickname Houdini
hehe
I cant wait to show you guys stretch too. hes a MASSIVE ( Probably as tall as Archie) Stallion that wasnt supposed to be a stallion at all, he is Cocoas father, as well as Maddie ( another filly born on the farm, ill have to get pics of her, id love to have her too as she is just a gorgeous little girl! ). Unless he (stretch) wants food. Very bad manners there... LOL
Hes a bit too expensive for my blood though, and wish i could afford him, guaranteed he'd be mine in a heartbeat if i could!
Theres a few older horses there as well, one pony in his late thirties, early fourties guaranteed. His name is Oscar, and hes a real doll. he used to be trained to rip the clothes off a clown, im told
And another old mare that is the great grandmother to Cocoa, shes in her early/late thirties.
Lots of hooved friends to meet, and get pictures of. Im just usually running around that i dont have time to really stop and snap photos.
How could a person NOT love this kind of work? And how do people resist the urge to buy up every darn beautiful horse they see!?
Ive been thinking, and looking, but itll be a little bit before i really decide to make that kind of move. Tis a very large (and costly) responsibility. I want to be prepared.
