A bit off the current topic but I just thought I'd post a few pictures...
Cassidy on King on the left and Me on Pat on the right. (For size reference, I'm 5' 5 1/2" and Cassidy is probably 2 or 3 inches taller than me.)King and Pat are both around 19.1 and this picture was a few months ago. They're all furry and fat(ter) now. These two are pretty much retired show horses as they're getting out of their prime, that my friend Julie owns.
Ready and waiting for our class in the above picture.
Giving King a kiss! They're BIG boys, their noodle alone is about the size of my entire upper body.
Julie had three other horses Jayson, Pete and Rex. Jayson had to be put down because his coffin bones started growing through the bottoms of his hooves and they couldn't correct it. Pete was practically bipolar, skittish about everything at home, even stomped Julie once when she was down trying to plug in the clippers clipping his legs, but hardly batted an eye at the shows. Rex was Jayson's replacement and his total opposite. Jayson pulled Julie's arms off every time she drove him, Rex on the other hand had no work ethic. We attempted to use a remote dog shock collar to get him going but it didn't have the desired affect, he just leaned away from the zap instead of jumping forward and getting moving! Though he was one of the horses that pulled the Christmas tree into the White House this year, they must have figured him out.
Julie roman riding, a talent she picked up working for Priefert Ranch Equiptment.
Her mentor Jason Goodman. He does this with another pair of horses in front of him, so six total. Crazy!
The four at a local demo in Julie's hometown. Jason and Pete are the leaders, King and Pat are the wheelers.
Unicorn at the same demo.
She had to quit showing because she had to take on more responsibility on the family farm a few years ago.
This is Pat and King's current "job" for the winter, I had the lovely job of de-burr-ing their manes, by hand because we couldn't find any combs.
Working hard. There were three different loads of people in the group for this sleigh ride, boys were POOPED by the time we got done.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
