LOL...I think my kids use to feel that way too when I'd lose it with someone:)...but now that they have kids of their own they have suddenly gotten a lot more understanding of how it can happen:)

He said “Unfair!” Heh.

LOL

I've very glad Pony's eye is better. I'd leave it alone too. If it's not broke...ya know:)

Pics in a minute... of course :~)

Funny, I have some to post too:)...My property is looking so nice, IMO, anyway, that I've been going out there a lot and wondering around. Last night I took a few pictures. This one kind of gives you an idea of how long the pastures are. This is taken from the back fence line. You can't see the whole length of our property, which is actually 660 feet long, but this shows Harley's pasture.

And these next two, are just to give you an idea of what the land looked like before we did any clearing...the trees were as thick as the ones in this picture all over the 5 acres, and most of the ground was covered in the rocks like in the second picture.

It sure looks green and lush now! I can’t wait to see it... I’ve never had a good feeling for how your land is laid out from the pictures. Probably like when you came here, and said you always thought the back forty was bigger. I have a feeling I’ve always thought your pastures are smaller than they really are, since we’ve always seen mostly the paddock areas and the arena.

... So what have you done with all the rocks?... is there a big pile of them somewhere? They do look just like the rocks people buy here to make rock walls and stepping stones out of ;~)

OK - here we are... pony games. :~) I've always suspected that pony would jump anything you put in front of her. She's really such a fun pony. I wish I had a little hundred pound rider to stick on her and go.... she could go far with the right person and some training.

Pony sizing up the log...

It's a real tight space in there, but I was able to set her up to sortof lunge back and forth, and eventually, all the way around. She's so nimble and maneuverable. I wouldn't have tried this with the big horses. Not enough room, and tangle sticks if they get off track.

Starting out with a hop over the 'low' end.

And back...

And then the high end. These are shooting toward the 'sun', so they over exposed a little, but ~look~ at this gal jump!

And that's in hand, without a lot of room to get well set up. The more times she went over, the higher she jumped... she really likes it ;~)
