Wow! You have beautiful horses, obviously since they are world champions, but I just had to say it

I used to ride a lot, I had some QHs, POAs, TBs, and various unregistered horses. The only showing I did was in 4H, then I did some team penning with my uncle, lots of trail riding, and just running around doing fun things on horses.

Horses have always been my passion and have my heart. After my moms diagnosis with pancreatic cancer, I sold the ranch in north texas and moved back to Mississippi to take care of her. Sure do miss my horses

It’s just amazing what brilliant colors some of the roosters have….God sure knew what He was doing when He made them!

Are these beautiful roosters free ranging with hens? They are amazingly well kept.

Roosters, in general, just melt my butter, but you do have some real beauties.

I miss my horses too, I had some amazing ones. Life circumstances took me away from my little place in Idaho, I sold all my horses, I was without them for about 8 years, we just got a TB broodmare 2 years ago, she's due to foal this spring. She's not the same as the horses I had before, she's dingy, doesn't know where her feet are, as far as I can tell there's nothing wrong with her eyesight. She came off the track, I'm assuming she was raised in perfectly flat paddocks and stall kept.

That's wonderful you chose to take care of your mother, family is darn special. My mom and I lived on opposite coasts, I hadn't seen her in 5 years, then she retired and moved about 25 minutes away from me, it's be great to be able to see her regularly again.

They are all free range
