Around here, I know people, whose horses graze in fields right by the road, have drivers stop and ask why the horses have blindfolds on. They seem to think it's very cruel.
Wait a sec! That's PLURAL! I think I recognize the one with the spots sneaking out (along with the tongue), but... Is that a dorsal stripe? Yes, I think it is! Could that be the dorsal stripe you followed around the Carson National Forest? Did it follow you home? Is Bella visiting?
Hi Lisa, Thought I would stop by and say hello! I haven't been around much lately....love the pics! What kind of fly masks are those...they look brand new!? Could not make out the print on them? How's your riding going? I'll have to read up! Have a great day!
Great photos, Lisa. Down the road from my house, the horses are wearing these. Trying to talk with them is like trying to talk with someone who is wearing sunglasses--very disconcerting when you can't see their eyes and gauge their reaction to the conversation!
Just catching up on your blog; (my internet is slow right now, and not all of your photos are downloading) instead of commenting on every post, I'll do it all here. It sounds like you had what I call a "quality wilderness experience" and even though your beloved Apache came up lame,(I hope she is all better soon!)you still had a fabulous time. There is nothing like good company, good terrain, good weather, and a good horse to ride. Lucky you! I haven't had Beamer out on a real trail ride yet this year. But we're still having fun!

On Re-Homing an Animal:
"Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give an animal is to recognize that that they might be better off somewhere else and then finding that somewhere for them." and
"The best animal owners are the ones who recognize the animal's needs over the preservation of their own pride and selfishness."

Good trail partners are not just about keeping pace – it is about riding with people who will inspire and encourage you. Good trail horses are generally made rather than found. The horses that have surmounted some baggage are doubly esteemed because they required their rider to dig a bit deeper. ~Horsebytes

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. One Thousand pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs.
It's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

Lisa..great photos..love the last one...
Is that Rosie with your Apache at your farm there??
That's funny! I just posted a picture of a horse wearing a mask. Yours are better.
Wait a sec! That's PLURAL! I think I recognize the one with the spots sneaking out (along with the tongue), but...
Is that a dorsal stripe? Yes, I think it is! Could that be the dorsal stripe you followed around the Carson National Forest? Did it follow you home? Is Bella visiting?
Love the pictures!
Apache and Rosie?

Hi Lisa,

Those are so cute! Even the husband laughed and he prefers to avoid horses if he can, lol.
Great photos, Lisa. Down the road from my house, the horses are wearing these. Trying to talk with them is like trying to talk with someone who is wearing sunglasses--very disconcerting when you can't see their eyes and gauge their reaction to the conversation!
