I saw a demonstration one time of horse doing that. It was pretty, but definitly different.

It's definately a comfortable, ground-covering gait.

My daughter took these snaps of Biscuit the other day, with her work place super duty digital. She emailed them to me,and Hair was kind enough to convert, so I could post them. Just wanted to show how nicely this filly is developing.

Thanks Hair.. :')

The sun is even shining. Those are dried up holes the horses made when it was so wet. Looks like rocks.

Boy! She sure is pretty and shiny already. Mine are still moth-eaten looking.

She's gorgeous, and she does not have any mule markings at all!

Some riders put a dryer softener sheet, on the bridle to repel deer flies. I don't know if that is your fly problem, but it might work. You just might look silly riding with sheets hung all over the saddle..lol

Thanks, we really like her, even thou she is a bratty baby. She didn't have much of a hair coat, when we got her last fall. She is already wearing a size 80 blanket.

LOL...you will never let me live that down. And thanks again, for fixing those pics and the compliment.

I have been to a few of the C&W concerts. Garth, Reba, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson were pretty calm, but a Tim McGraw one was just too much screaming and carrying on. Hard to enjoy it, when it's like that.

Lots of muscle definition. I like that.

And there is always a chance, babies might not inherit the gait. As bad as breeding Appaloosas or any color breed. The chance you take.

I've heard of that one too:)

I just ran into Bixby and got some Off. That should hold me till the brand I like comes in next week.

I'm off to ride Harley now.

LOL! They always look so funny with those on, but they're a lifesaver when the flys are so bad. What's really funny is when they roll in the mud with one on and fill up the mesh with mud and then they can't see. Goofy horses!

Yeah - they do get them dirty, and I'd think the dirt would just drop in their eyes, which would be particularly irritating. I hose them out frequently.

The yearling size fits pony a lot better than the pony size I bought last year. I had to sew on extra velcro before to get it to fit right, this one's good.

Where do you get playground seed mix? I'm sorry to ask so many questions I just have 10 acres to seed by next week and I know it takes forever for Bermuda to come up. Since you mentioned yours came up so fast, I'd love to learn more about it. (Also, do you know what it's a combination of? Bahia? Bermuda? Whatever?) I assume it's all horse edible, nutritious?

For anthills pour gasoline or diesel fuel onto the hill and LIGHT IT ON FIRE. It's the only thing that really works that wont poison your horses, livestock, etc.

We love burning fire ants. They deserve it. (sweet smile.)
