Other Pets and Livestock

She's the first one I've had molt that bad. I know it happens but, have been lucky to have them molt more gentle. Funny thing is she is one of my originals so this hasn't been a normal molt for her.
 
Oh boy! I can do this one, too!

This Phoenix. He's an AQHA palomino gelding that I trained extensively. My husband rides him now.

This is Sea Spirit (Andy). He's an Arab/Quarter Horse cross. We adopted him from a rescue a few months ago. He's 25 years old and a very good, gentle, old dude ranch horse. Every farm should have a horse like this. :D

This will be my next riding animal. He is an almost 14 hand standard donkey. His name is Donkeyotee (Don Quixote). He has quite the rescue story which I could post separately if anyone is curious.

This is Maggie. She is a Shetland Pony that used to belong to our niece but they lost their farm and asked us to take her in. Our niece has since lost interest but maybe our son will like her when he's older.

Phoenix and Donkey are paddock mates and clowns. Donkey makes a very silly face by pulling his head back to push his lips into a "monkeyface". Phoenix sticks his tongue out and leaves it there until he gets treats. Both are holding their respective treat begging positions in the second picture.

Cool critters, Little Cow!
Some day I will get another horse!
(Shhhh, that will be our little secret)
 
I love the treat pic! That is just too funny!

It's a good thing it's finally hatching season here and my bator is full or DH may have had to put up with chicks in the house. Like it or not. I've had hatching fever since last fall and those fuzzy butts are just to cute!
 
Ok, here are osme of my animals. :D
