Well, okay, it's not officially winter yet and we haven't had any snow, but it has been windy and chilly and wet for the last several weeks. So I don't blame the horses for enjoying the warmth and taking a mid afternoon nap. As well, I finally am able to post photos that actually have some colour in them!
Chloe literally snores when she sleeps.
Just to ease your worries....yep, she's alive!
And you can't see it very well in the first photo, but Sierra had crashed in the tall grass. Here she is.
She really was dead to the world.
Her eyes were closed and everything.
I had to check the rising and falling of her stomach just to reassure myself that she was still breathing...and alive.
But, wait a minute.....
Phew! Sorry pretty girl for interrupting your lovely nap beneath the warmth of the afternoon sun just to ease my own paranoia.
But you are far too pretty to let anything happen to.
Over in the small pasture, someone else was enjoying the warm sunshine.
Oh my gosh I love that little fellow! Oops, woke him too...by accident of course.
Can you see why now I love my minis? Seriously, who can resist a face like this?
Don't be jealous, Pixie, you know you will always be first in my heart.
Aside from the filth (the negative side of owning a white horse) don`t you just want to cuddle up to that beautiful winter coat?
And I wanted to point out how pretty all my minis look in their new halters. Finding halters for minis is next to impossible. Mini's heads come in all different sizes and shapes so one universal "mini" halter won't necessarily fit all minis. For example, Pixie has a very small head and wears a suckling size halter as does Tex. Willow is a mini but has a big head and fits into a pony size halter while Meadow who is a pony fits into a mini halter. .
But we eventually did find the last one and now everyone has a shiny new halter that fit them perfectly. That included Sierra, who's yearling size head fit perfectly into a pony halter. I got to say it again....ain't she purty??
