Good Friday morning, Finest FReepers!
Cowboy boots and stetson are optional,
but.........."I love these animals!"

Good one. Have a nice day Billie and everyone. I'm off to work.

What a lovely way to start the day!

Well, actually, my day already started with a couple of hours spent soaking my horse's injured leg in warm water and Epsom salts, walking him, giving him his antibiotic injection, etc., as he tries to recover from an injury received on a trail ride over two months ago. But he is so trusting and brave that I just can't let him down; he relies on me to make him better. They are such great creatures.

Thanks for the great pictures. Ping to AmericanMother, another horse fancier.

Billie this is wonderful thread.. I have always loved these animals and have been lucky enough to have spent some extended time with some of them in Alaska many many years ago.

I have been also lucky enough to see the Lipizzaner Stallions in Europe again many years ago.

Have visited the Budweiser Clydesdales many times in Merrimack NH I was living just down the road from them in Amherst NH.

Thank you for the pictures everyone!

I want to have a horse....
One day (when everything is more stable...excuse the pun)

I love horses, too. Now.

I have lots of horses. I ride them everyday.

Roy came for Trigger long before I got here.

Horses are beautiful animals but I've had some out of control wild rides in my time and tend to stay off of them now. lol

Like you, I'd like to have few around just to look at if they weren't so expensive to keep up.

Have some things to take care of today. Hope everyone has a lovely day! :)

Billie, you had me really scared for a moment. I was in the process of writing my most complimentary post ever for this presentation, but then I found something.......

To my great joy chagrin, you used the outdated link for The Freeper Foto Album!

What a shame! Now, how could I possibly praise you after such an awful mistake?

Well maybe next time......but I doubt it.

Ooooooh, my favorite animal! Thank you Billie. It's a beautiful thread. That little girl at the top is also me. I always loved horses and would draw and paint horses all the time. When I was nine years old I discovered Zane Grey books and decided that I wanted to be a cowboy (yes, a cowboy) when I grew up. I dreamed of going west and living on a ranch. When I finally had the opportunity to travel West, I was in heaven. Wyoming still tugs at my heart.

Had already posted this picture taken of a horse in Cades Cove recently but this looks like a good time to post it again.
