My favorite horses...so far


Here are my best equine buddies. The chestnut brown is named Guy, he is a saddle bred. Guy is the old man of the herd. Kind, but stubborn. The black and white one is Bruno. He is a spotted walking horse, and the gentlest one you will ever meet. I like to refer to him a gentile giant, he is 17 hands tall. The white on is Vanilla, she is a appaloosa walking horse. She is pregnant and will have her foul around March or April. I am soooooo excited!! She is small compared to the other two horses, but boy does she have an attitude to offset with her size! She is quite a brat. Yesterday, Cayla and I went riding, we had a really good time. I was teaching her how to ride bare back. She rode Guy and I rode Vanilla. and yes you can ride pregnant horses. We had so much fun. It is a little challenging for her to "hang on" with her legs while we are trotting. But she is doing very well, at least better than I thought she would. Its a good bonding time for Cayla and I. Because you know the age she is right know, she can get VERY annoying at times :) But we seem to get along great when just she and I are riding the horses into the sunset.

Horses are just beautiful creatures! My dad is a true cowboy - so I've been around horses with him. They are smarter than people realize!

Be sure to post pictures of the new babies when they come! Nothing cuter than a skinny legged baby!
