The snow has stopped and its 34°, so out we go. First we have to taste the snow:)

Yesterday I was looking out the window just in time to see Cheyenne go down for a good roll.:shock: In the mud. :green: I was like, oh God, seriously?

So when I brought them in for the night, I had Dr. Jekyll. ..

LOL at least with and App you never know if it's supposed to be their real coloring or not. :D
 
My horses get out of their stalls every day. If the weather isn't cooperating, like this morning, they are always spunky and itching to come out and stretch their legs! This morning it was pouring rain and then lots of snow so I kept them inside until noon this is what happens when I let them out. :p

He's 1/2 Thoroughbred, 1/2 Arabian, call name Sky. I used to do 50 mile endurance rides way back in my younger days; I wanted another Arab so I could do some long distance riding, but liked this Anglo-Arab cross. Bought him as a 3 year old in 2010. We've done some 25 & 30 milers and completed in good shape. One ride was a 3-day: 25 miles/30 miles/25 miles, so 80 miles in 3 days. That was about 5 years ago. I was going to work up to some 50's, but I've had some physical ailments and just went back to some pleasure trail riding. Now then I haven't ridden in over a year. Sky has become expensive yard art. :rolleyes:

Hes very handsome! I always thought the endurance races would really be a fun event to participate in but I never did and I'm way too old now to start. LOL I never was "into" shows of any kind except for some backyard cowboying stuff. :p. But races always seems like a fun thing to try.

I did jumping in my younger days. But I really enjoy trail riding the best. Casually riding with friends, riding down the road or on our backfields here when the crops are harvested. Or at the State Park which is only 5 minutes away. It's like coffee clutching only better. :D

We call them ' expensive lawn ornaments' here. ;)
 
While this not technically a horse, it's something I thought you horse appreciating people might love as much as I do. It's a stitching pony! More specifically, it's a harness maker's stitching pony. I saw it for sale and had to have it. Here it is all cleaned up and with new leather (since the old leather was rotten and broke when I put pressure on it). Any idea what era it could have come from?

What a great find - It looks painted or stained, which all the ones I've seen were natural wood. Also appears to be held together with dowels - am I seeing that correctly? Neat-o! Thanks for sharing!

I think the original finish was paint, but it's quite worn. It's held together with dowels like you thought, but the foot pedal is attached to a piece that is meant to rotate so it can be adjustable. The paint finish doesn't come close to the workmanship required for building the piece.

Wow I've never seen anything like it and even doing a quick search, it didn't something like yours up. I think you have a pretty cool find there.

I agree. I can't remember the last time I bought something that could be "decorative", but I will use this for its intended purpose. And if I don't, it will be a really cool plant stand.

Gosh, nothing like missing half the words I was trying to type there. I think you have a pretty rare find.
