The all of everything

Jadi, Mariah and Winona

Really, what more do you need?

Well, OK, rain is always on the list.

Otherwise … it’s pretty much all right there. 🙂





Seven’s saunter

Seven

Seven does the walk on by. Do you love the jaunty swish of his tail? By the round of that belly, bachelorhood seems to agree with the stocky grey boy.





Oh, those boys!

Killian and S'aka

Aren’t they the handsomest? Pals Killian and S’aka dance through the sage on a day too warm for spring in Colorado.





Quiet is golden

Puzzle

All that lovely white has soaked, seeped and settled in.

Pardon the quiet: I’ve had a nice little vacation in Texas, and my folks are having a nice little vacation in Colorado!

Shadow and Puzzle

Round-bellied Shadow and Puzzle like to stick together. They’re two of the most wary mares in the basin. They’re brave together.





Bright as a …

Copper

… Copper penny.

Portrait of a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild stallion. 🙂





Glare

5 03 2015

Chipeta closes her eyes against the glare of sunshine on snow.

Makers of sunglasses must sell more in the state of Colorado than anywhere else on the planet. When leaving home, Coloradans make sure we have our wallet(s), our cell phone(s) and our shades.

There’s a piece of tack for just about everything known to horse-owning humankind. Dogs have doggles. Horses should have, um, horggles? Ha. OK, kidding. But check out Chipeta. She’s not napping, and she’s not blinking; her eyes are simply slitted against the glare of bright sunshine on white, white snow. What a problem to have, eh? 🙂





Dashing through the snow

4 03 2015

Seneca, Puzzle, Chipeta and Shadow run in the snow.

While watching the horses from the road with another family in another vehicle, the horses suddenly got a wild hair and galloped away a short distance. Ah, wild horses, galloping in the snow. 🙂 We had to be quick with our shutters; it didn’t last long.





Love bugs

Ty and Chipeta

Ty gets amorous with Chipeta.





What’s good?

2 03 2015

Seneca seems to ask Tesora what good things she's finding in the snow.

Don’t you love their expressions? Tesora is working to find her own groceries, and Seneca is seeming to politely ask if she can share. A moment later, Tesora told Seneca to go work for her own groceries. Seneca didn’t seem to mind.
