More horses to look at

More horses. They're all so unique. Just like us folks!

 This beauty was curious!

My Dad got us a pony when I was all of five. 
Dinky was his name and he was a Shetland pony.

 Friend here was checkin' out the Magnum!

Dinky was a black and white pinto and had stocky legs and a barrel body. A long, flowing mane and tail that I would brush. I can still remember what he felt like under my caressing hand.... Warm with his dense muscles tight and sometimes quivering as if he was dislodging a fly.

I flick my tail in your general direction!

Ever had a Shetland pony? Compact, strong and mean as a rattlesnake if you try to get them to do something they don't want to do!  We gave up trying to ride him after awhile and my dad took him back to the person he borrowed him from and got us an old, docile mare that I recall looked much like these two horses.

 Dandelions are so pretty! 


...Much like Dinky was... Pretty, very striking in appearance and very attractive in the sunshine. Try to bend them to your will though and they're tough and almost impossible to tame!

Horses

Just some horse pictures.... 

This matching pair! I wonder if they're related?

The muscles are amazing. No wonder they can pull like crazy!

This is the type of horse that the Knights of old England rode. The horses had to be this size and strong to carry all the weight of the armor!

 This is another young riding horse. Or maybe used to pull a light buggy.

 So shiny and beautiful!

Our Sunday Drive

Everything is so beautiful! The spring showers have certainly brought flowers and all is green and growing!

I don't care if they're weeds, they make me smile!

This pasture was quite a distance, but we got some fun shots.

Goats are so much fun. Look at those little tails!

He shouldn't have paid us any mind, we were so far away, but I guess life is boring on the farm!

All different shades and splotches. Some solid color, some not.
Goats and horses make great buddies. Strange, isn't it?

The horses are draft or 'work' horses. No particular breed. Likely a bit of this and that and Percheron. 
The pasture is between Aylmer and Springfield, Ontario.
