Exploring the pasture
Thanks for the compliments on the donks! Yep, I trained both myself. Still a work in progress tho for more suppleness.

Loving the herd life
This is our naughty Quarter Horse X pony, Luna. She's got a 'ttude and needs some work, but otherwise she's great.
We're getting better with the farrier! ..not so much with the leading, she's 8 years old, and *was* well trained before being sent to an auction, then rescue, then us. She's rusty, and figures she's in retirement HA HA.
Just a note..this is what Luna USED to look like, I know Patandchickens from BYC & Sufficientself noticed some muscling abnormalities in her, but granted she was quite underweight at the time and has filled out brilliantly. She no longer drags her feet either when trotting, walking, or cantering, and is overall quite healthy. Luna was a wreck when we adopted her from a rescue about an hour away, she'd only been there for a week and was just starting the recovery process but we snapped her up, took her home, and fed her up nice and fat. Now she has loads of muscle, and is gleaming in the noon-day sun!
This is what she looked like before, kind of haggard. She was skinny enough that you could see her ribs through her extremely thick winter coat, I don't suppose she'd been thin long, and we have an inkling she may have been a broodmare which would account for the skinniness and rush off to sale...plus she has big nipples much like our TB ex-broodmare we had a few years back.
and her first week here, we bought her a brand-spankin'-new weatherbeeta shell because we were expecting freezing rain, and being without a run-in or workable barn, she needed something to keep her toasty!

Beautiful horses everyone! I've been lazy about getting pictures. I'll have to get my butt out on the next nice day and take a few.
I love the pictures of the "long ears"
Mules and donkeys are so cute!
OK, here are some of mine:
Isis at her foal inspection with her OTTB mom
An OTTB mare- Polly- who I got because she was on her way to an auction and I thought she was too nice a horse to end up as dogfood:
Here's Polly when I got her. It is hard to see that she is the same horse.
My overweight boy, Nova- he has the same dam as Isis does
Mocha- my current youngest who is a year old now. These were last year at her inspection where she was a little brat!
Here she is spooking at all the flowers in the ring!
