bleacher aches.

Oh, geez. Within about 3 minutes of sitting down, I'm feeling like, "when can I leave?!"

Time for some sunshine, ay? I feel ya, there. Do you guys have a mucky mess or is it okay?

Well, April is historically one of our driest months, and we're actually a couple of inches low so far this year, so we're good. A bit concerned about what's in store for the next 24 hours - this system has created quite a mess in Texas and parts east.

Oh, if it helps to stop the world being over run by carrots then I'm all for it.:lol:
I can see from the other pictures she personal identity problems. What conformations issues does she have?

For starters, at 35 inches (89 cm) tall and about 200 lbs (90 kg), Blondie's a real lightweight (both of her parents were show horses, and the Miniature Horse people want their show horses to look like big horses in miniature, so they are bred to have small frames. Frustrating that even "quality" animals can produce something like this, but breeding is "a roll of the dice," as it were, and sometimes, it comes up "snake eyes"). Beyond her general build, she is roach backed, severely cow hocked, and has stifles that tend to lock, so it's hard to know how much one can ask of her before the effort causes pain. But, she has an almost dog-like friendliness and eagerness to please that are the reasons I bought her in the first place. So that's not "personal identity problems," it's a generous, creative spirit that won't be trapped by people's perceptions, but is forever pushing the boundaries!:gig

Oh arrr, we was nattering about funny looking horses................
These are some weird looking horses.
I'm worried about the carrot world take over bid now. If I dress this lot up will it help defeat the marauding carrots?:lol:View attachment 1737746

As a late-coming and reluctant but genuine appreciator of all things long-ear, I can assure you, those are not mere 'weird looking horses.' They are vastly superior carrot-crunchers, as I am sure they would be more than glad to demonstrate (my mini-mule assures me that no dressing up is required).

You should know I'm teasing a little.:p
Good for her on the perception boundary pushing.:hugs

Good grief! Don't call them mules! They'll get most upset.
They are Catalan donky's, or at least the brown ones are. The gray is Arron and he's a nightmare gradually approach dawn.
