I'm really enjoying this thread, seeing pics of everyone's horses. Thought I'd post a few pics of some of our horses. Erin, I know you've seen a couple of these pics, so I hope I don't bore you. Your guys are looking awesome, by the way! Can't believe the difference in Hutch. It's unbelievable. You must be doing something right.
Keep up the good work. These guys are lucky to have you.
Here are a couple of our Belgian, Fred. We got him when he was 12, and he's 16 now. Hubby is a big guy-6 feet tall, and was looking for a big horse to ride. Fred rides and pulls, and I wish we had 10 more of him. He's a big teddy bear, and riding him is like riding a big ole Cadillac.
And I know she's not wearing a helmet, or shoes for that matter. Please don't bash, she just hopped on for a quick pic with Fred.
Here is Zoe again on Star, a Tennessee Walker. She's a lesson horse she rode for a bit. Zoe started to take an interest in riding this past fall, and has been taking lessons ever since-and we're loving every minute of it.
This is Ladybug, Zoe's horse. She's a 5 year old Quarter Horse. We've only had her for about 3 months, and they're doing very well together.
And last, but not least, is Magic. He's also one of our newer ones. He's 10, and his parents were both Apps. He was given to us by a relative who raised him. She was looking for a good home for him, when she decided to get out of the whole horse thing. He came to us four months ago-a very very pushy boy. Was pretty much a pasture ornament, spent time with a trainer when he was a 2 year old, then almost never ridden. He spent the past 3 months with our trainer, and is a completely different horse. We just got him back home this past weekend. He's learned manners, and is now a joy to ride. It's amazing the difference a good trainer makes.
Hope I didn't overdo it. And hope all of those horse lovers on BYC continue posting pics of your horses. I, for one, love looking at them.
