Dang, I have to keep pictures turned off at work. (Mapleleaf's nude posting, ya know) ;-)

That horse isn't doing anything 'unnatural' is it? ;-)

Bump. Just for the "down the tubes" advocates.

More pics of your horsies pleas Sacco!
Do you horse pack? Iggy's not quite ready for that and a little to big but I'd like to go out west someday and do the cowboy camping thing. [i]Preferably with some cute cowboys! ;-)[i]

Baily is beautiful!

I ride Iggy bareback once in a while for bonding time. It may be just me but I think he behaves better because he feels the closeness.

There should be a law! Girls as pretty as you should not be allowed. It drives us poor guys crazy.

this is captain morgan, our old-style morgan. (he's technically a pony)

it's amazing how much he changes through the seasons.

this is in the mid-summer




this is at the end of summer





and this is in the winter

i like to ride bareback cause it's way more comfortable than any saddle.

chrissy likes her australian stock saddle the best, especially for jumping.

there's only a few places to go horse packing in new york, but we'll probably go this summer

I love your captain too. Seems to have a cute personality and the fuzz is endearing. I blanket Iggy becase working in the arena he would get to hot with all that coat.

I ride in Stubben all-purpose. It's old and feels molded to me.

When you get ready to go horse camping post it here..and pictures. I'd like to hear your learnings.

Morgan has the cutest donkey nose! (Yes, I know he's not a donkey, but it's lighter colored like a donkey.) cute! He has a sweet face.

It's not that hard. Take a lesson or two to get the feel back. Maybe think about a 1/2 lease to test the waters......

we leave the fuzz cause we don't get to work them too much in the winter.

this summer i'm putting in a riding ring so then we'll be able to work with them year round.

do you board iggy?

when i first starting looking at going to wyoming this summer i wanted to do a 3day horseback trip, then a 4 or 5 day hike but it's so dam expensive. intstead we'll just go for an all day ride the first day and then hike 6 days.

i'd love to bring our boys out there for a trip but trailering them from ny to wyoming would cost so much in gas and i don't think they'd enjoy that long of a ride.

He does look a bit like a mule.

I board Iggy. Used to keep him at home but moved. Plus getting up at 4 for morning chores and doing evening chores left little time to enjoy. Now I work out, ride and someone else shovels. Worth it.

Yeah It would cost me more to get Iggy out west than his owner.

NOTHING like a mule!
