Some pics of some of my horses

I thought I'd take some pics of some of my horses yesterday. I used my hubby's camera but did something to the settings to the pics are poor quality. Oh well the backdrops aren't flash as we need to slash the weeds that have come up from all the rain we've had. This is my colt Saxon, just out of the paddock shots (so he's a tad grubby and needs a trim and tidy up, as well as a better fitting bit).

Not bad for a pony in her thirties, as she decided to have her own little carry on :) [URL=http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/simigirl75/Rocky/b741dfe5.jpg][I…] This is actually Pixie bucking lol.

Rocky is a special old man as he was out of my first horse of my own. Pebbles. We bred him and I broke him in at two years old when I was 14 years old. Due to having another horse by then and Rocky only being ridden lightly due to his age, my parents asked me to sell one of my horses, just before Rocky's 3rd birthday. Sadly I chose Rocky and sold him to a girl that was to keep in contact with me, as I hoped to buy him back at a later stage. A few months later and she got bored with Rocky so sold him on. Her little sister slipped out with it at a supermarket a couple of months later. It took me 17 years to find him but I did at a Riding School. They wouldn't sell him to me at the time but two and half years later they gave Rocky and his best little mate Pixie to me. I was so happy as it was their time to be totally retired and well taken care of. That was in September last year. Sorry for the novel but I thought I'd explain why Rocky means so much to me :) [URL=http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/simigirl75/Rocky/a9cf3c3f.jpg][I…]

Love the pix :) and that is a great story, I wish I could have got back some of the horses I raised and trained when I was young, I still think of them oftened.
