deep in the heart of the great state of Texas

October 2, 2005

It's dinner time and Mystyk and Leo are waiting to be fed. We feed every evening at 5:30 and the horses start gathering  between 5:00 and 5:15. I don't know how they tell time, but they know when it's dinner time.

As you can see, they're not starving but they think they are.

Katy has decided that she won't wait any longer. Here she is opening the gate herself. I don't know if it is the change in the season or if it is a new supplement we're giving her to strengthen her hooves, but she has turned a beautiful copper color (very desirable in a Palomino). Katy's about  4 months pregnant and will foal sometime in May.
Leo's face is looking really good considering what happened to him last December. He may not have a beautiful face (on the right side only) but he's the sweetest colt you'll ever meet. He's been handled so much since the accident, he thinks he's a dog. Here, he's aggravated because I'm making him wait for dinner to take his picture but he's not doing anything aggressive or giving me warnings (by pinning his ears back, a sure sign a horse is going to bite or kick you).


Comments?

Our blog (a web log or sort of online diary) is maintained by chief stall mucker, poop picker-upper and all around slave to the animals, Norma Epstein. I write it all myself (no Pulitzer or accolades necessary) and I take all the pictures with a Minolta digital camera. I take pictures and post to the blog whenever I find something interesting or have something interesting to say (and even sometimes when I don't).
