I had to laugh at the comments about the yearlings-- yeah, the snip snip makes for a good attitude adjustment! :)
someone asked the breed. The mare is a TB and the stud is a Dutch Carriage Horse which is a type of warmblood. The stud is an amishman's horse and quite stunning! And to think he pulls a buggy and a manure spreader-- but very handsomely! :) I guess that is what a stud needs to keep him humble when he doesn't get the snip snip. LOL

Too funny!
OH to see that horse pulling a manure spreader! But, in the "old" days that's what horses did. They WORKED!!! They were not just pretty pampered pets kept in a roomy stall, or left out to pasture to do nothing (Like MY horses! LOL!!). They actually EARNED their living.
With gas prices her in CA being what they are, ($4.25+ a gallon), mine just might have to learn to pull a buggy and earn THEIR keep as well! (they can also spread their OWN manure-- but in a more USEFUL way!!! (HA! HA! HA!)

I can't wait till we live in the country and I can own my horse. I would get such a kick out of being able to ride my horse in for a bag of groceries or have the kids ride pillion down to the bus stop! I'm all for bringing back natural transportation. I used to dream as a kid about being able to ride a horse to school and to do everything! LOL

When my daughter was younger I homeschooled her. She had a wonderful horse. On those first beautiful days of spring when you can't stop staring out a window we would try to do school. Invaribly I would get distracted by her siblings and then the next thing I knew I would catch a glimpse of her outside riding her horse bareback thru the fields. Really I could hardly blame her since thats what I wanted to do too!
