Great stars and blazes! (should be a cliche) That bottom pic of Profit makes my heart sing!!! Horses are truly the masters of expression through body language, and when they want to show joy it's overpowering. At least it overpowers me. Thank you, Hook. |

A.D. That bottom picture of Profit as well as the side shot one were both taken the same time. We were playing "whip games" and Ed was taking pictures.
When he was still a stud and didn't have anyone for company, I used to take the longe whip out and start cracking it. He advances and retreats and just when I get within touching distance he spins and takes off, runs in a circle around me and comes back in again.
We also did a cutting version were he tried to get by me and I tried to block him. It was great fun, but since he has been gelded and out with the others all the time, he doesn't ask to play very often anymore. I really miss it, and he used to enjoy it so much - as you can tell with those pictures.

That's so darling!
When Seven was a baby, so was our cow dog Angel. They used to face off with each other, each trying to "herd" the other. Now that they're grown up, they're basically joined at the hip. Given the chance, Angel will lie down in front of Seven and simply stare into his face - for hours. Literally. Unless I call her... in which case this is what happens:

What crop is that, growing behind Promise in the second to bottom picture?
Not that it's important but I was curious, and it gets me to 50 posts so maybe now I can ride (even as a beginner, it's a step up from grooming!). Don't know if I should be happy, or ashamed for spending that much time here.  |

Promise was about a year and a half old in the picture taken ion august of 2006 and the crop was Soybeans that year.
Seven is sure a nice looking horse and Angel sure knows how to "come a runnin'"
Congratulations on your 50th. |
