Mares out to pasture!

Finally got the summer pastures up and running!
All the snow did a fairly good job on the fences this winter and come spring, so did moose and deer.

Peppy & Polly

Turned out the mares and fillies this weekend, the fellas been out for a couple of weeks already, sleeping mostly...

Brady, Melvin & Like Lightning looking stressed


The ladies loved it and took a few laps at full speed, buckin and kicking before settling down to graze, graze and then graze some more.

Mexicali, Polly, Peppy, Super Man and Sessan.


Peppy feeling good!

The fillies felt right at home in the same pasture the were in with their mamas as foals. They even bedded down in the same favorite spot they used last year.

Diva, Cat & Molly



Can´t believe there´s no interest in this little filly! She´s put together just right, cute as a bug and has a really great mind. She shows some serious moves and is as balanced as can be. Well, it´s their loss...
Sweet Lil Angel, aka Molly



Cat is filling out and getting some meat on them bones. She still carries herself with grace and is a really pretty mover.
Kick the Cat

Diva is just that, a DIVA. She prances, snorts and treats us peons like air. She´s going to mature into a really classy lady and she knows it!
Diva

The little fella I call Super Man is still a heap of skin and bones. Mainly because it´s hard not to compare him with our own foal, Polly. Not fair as he is a standardbred and she´s a Quarterhorse, he´ll develop in his own time and will be a looker too, I´m sure as his siblings.
Super Man

Polly is as adorable as ever. The temper she displayed earlier is gone (more or less) and she loves attention, being scratched and petted.

Brady has his handsfull keeping track of the fillies in one pasture and the mares and babies in the other across the road from him. That´s ok though as it might help keep his girthwidth in check!

Worked the bulls a little this weekend, pushing, cutting and roping. The horse handles really well around them and the cows are, as I´ve mentioned before, a whole lot easier to handle then the Highlands.
