Please, I ask in advance that you forgive the crappy quality on many of them, these were all taken with my cell phone. Also forgive the quantity, with 16 horses running around, it's hard to not go overboard *blushes*.
Starting with the biggest, Big John. He was feeling his alfalfa today and decided to go (and take the others) for a romp after getting sprayed down this afternoon.
Taz is trying to play with him while he's trying to roll. Silly Taz, John is like 5 times your size LOL.
Urging Bess and Taz to join in his thundering hoofbeats (with all 3 of them, it was rather loud)
Looky here, I can float
Now everyone is having a bit of fun.
Now onto Dobe...
With his shiny self
His bloodmark keeps getting more obvious with every year as he gets whiter.
Unfortunately, he will have to go back under the knife sometime this summer/fall to remove more melanomas. He has one on his back where the tree on my saddle sits and you can see the 2 smaller ones on his face, plus there is another on the inside of a hind leg up close to his sheath :,,(.
Talk about thundering hoofbeats...2 drafts, 2 overweight mustangs, and a yearling draft cross all at a gallop LOL.
Dobe showing off his flashy trot
Now feeling good at a lope
Telling John to quit riding his tailgate
Leading the stampede
Whew, now it's time for another drink and a relaxing moment
Now Taz's little fugly self. There may be a bit of hope for his appearance though, he is beginning to develop John's head and neck a little bit XX fingers crossed he matures to be pretty LOL.
At least his front legs are straight and strong looking (unlike his back ones). Please ignore the droopy lip in the top of the pic LOL.
And last but not least, the boy who just turned 2 years old on July 16, Rafe.
With Nester and Denny standing in the back looking very Arab-y LOL.
He and Flipper enjoying soaking their feet in the puddle where I ran the tank over. I think they appreciate when I lose track of the water and leave a puddle LOL
Wow lol I'd think it'd be way too hot to run around like that if its anything like up here in OK. My boy doesn't even walk quickly.. then again he is quite lazy
Lucky! its been raining heaps at the moment. Oh well, they recain that it was make a really pretty spring because everything will be all refreshed and green
Beautiful herd! Taz is really growing up pretty well, I think. He's certainly at that wonky growing stage, but I don't think he'll end up all that terribly. =]
Everyone's just looking so smexy! I don't know how you got so lucky. *envy* Posted via Mobile Device
Aw!!!!! Such cute be-behs! And I did the same thing with my water trough this morning. Thank goodness I'm not on well water, because I left mine running a couple hours this time. Just walked right back in the house and left it running.
And maybe it's because of your phone camera, or my brain is thinking of milk because of that other thread I've been reading, but your hose looked like it was totally spraying milk, lol.
Lovemymare, I would totally trade you some triple digit temps for a few inches of rain. We could both be happy for a few days :lol:.
Apachie, I know, I am so guilty of doing that (Dad is too). Sometimes, we will go out for a ride and about 2 or 3 miles from the house "Hey, did you turn the water off?:shock:" :lol:.
Lynn, thank you, I do find it rather awe-inspiring to see and I wish they would do it more often LOL. Unfortunately, this is a very rare thing for them to do. Normally it's just them standing around looking lazy.
LOL, Indy. I think the only reason she was running is because she thought John was after her (he's 2nd on the pecking order and she's at the bottom).
Thank you for all your compliments. I am actually keeping my fingers crossed with Rafe, he has not grown at all height-wise in a few months. Still holding steady at 15.3 :clap:. Finn is simply going to be much taller. Don't worry, he'll bulk up before it's all said and done.
There would be a few I'm willing to trade. Koda and Taz will need a new home before they grow too old :wink:.
Oh wow!!!! Big John is...um.....huge!!! He's a beast!!! Gorgeous but a beast none the less.
Taz!! What can I say, I'm a rooter for the underdog!! I love his fugly butt! How's his hernia? Did you ever have to have surgery or did it heal up on it's own? Give him a huge hug from me!!
Happy Belated Birthday Rafe!!! He is such a beautiful boy! I just love his coloring! I can't wait to see you riding him next year!!!
Loved all the pictures of your gang! Specially Big John kicking up his heels & Dobe telling everyone to stay back!!!
Thanks PD! No, haven't fixed Taz yet. I figure if it was going to close up on it's own, it would have by now. For now, I'm just biding my time and will likely have that done when I geld him this fall (when the bugs are not so bad).
But jennnnn! He'll match my boy! He wants to live with cows! And Froggy! They could share their cow girlfriends! And I loves him!
All your horses are so adorable! Big John is so black, it almost looks unnatural! I love them all!
