Photo Album

While I did set up this page for horse pictures, sometimes a photo op presents itself and I just had to share this one. Could this young man be any more Country or American??? lol I hope you get the same warm fuzzy feelings I do when I look at these pics.

Saying hi to the boys in the pasture.

Walking back to the gate after visiting the boys. Billed cap, American flag T, shorts and boots. How cute is that!!!!

This is the first of JD's foals to be born in 2011 on the place. He is a long legged, easy going, bay colt. JD his hip and disposition into the mix. I am leaning towards HH Doc Bar Bueno as his name. What do you think???
He hit the ground on the move. He is 3 days old and running circles around his mom.

He is only 3 days old in this picture and he had no fear. He came right up to me and was sniffing my foot while I was trying to take his picture.

This is Pepper's 1/2 Arabian Filly at one day old.

And this is the same 1/2 Arabian (Quarab) filly at one month. She is filling out nicely and holds herself with the Arabian style. She is dainty, but full of spirit.

Here are a few pictures of the 2010 yearlings:

These are future ladies of the place. April, the red roan and Lil. Lil looks sorrel now, but I am hoping she will gray since both her parents are gray.

Here is my husband, Albert, with a few of the ladies here. (L-R) Princess - Named by my grand daughter and she is the last daughter of my oldest mare, Penny. Pepper and Burbon - both of these little ladies were purchased in the fall of 2006 as weanlings.

As you can tell, my horses like their pettings. (And Albert seems to be enjoying it too.)

This is one of the 'rescue' horses I have. She is a 2004 Cremello Quarter Horse mare.

She was very shy when she came to us in 2007, but She is any thing but shy now!!!! She is the first one to come to you and loves attention. Her color and her blue eyes mean more barn time and extra grooming care, but she loves it and it gives the grand-kids something to do.

This is the horse that started everything here. Meet Sparky - a 2006 Leo bred gelding. He is easy on the eye and fun to ride. We have tried to take Sparky to the sale barn several times and he always manages to get some type of 'booboo'. He is very 'catty' and can turn on a dime.

He has been ridden at the sale barn and on the ranch. He has had a rope thrown from his back, ridden the river breaks, and the grand kids have even ridden him around the round pen. This is a great horse to ride and enjoy.

Here is a fancy little 2010 filly we are putting a lot of faith in. We call her Lil and she will be the last daughter I get from Lil Easy Feature. I lost Easy last winter. I morned his loss at the time, but based on the appearance of Lil, I think we will continue to morn the loss of his prodigy.

Cody Horstman is standing behind her in this picture and he is 5'9" so that gives you a good idea of her size at three months. She is a little spitfire, but she sure is pretty. We are planning to get her into a show ring as soon as we can. (First we need to be able to pick up her feet without ducking. lol)
