Horse Cuteness and Weekend Quizzage

[dancinghorse]

Sometimes horses are just damned cute. At lunch I was puttering around as usual, paused to snuggle Tia because, well, you know, and suddenly there was Pandora, pushing her beeg ole haid into my arms and holding it there for a few moments just because. She's my giant snugglebunny. (McCaffrey fans will recognize the moment from The White Dragon. She's not much smaller than Ruth.)

Even Capria has been huggy recently. Must be a phase. Usually she doesn't go for that gooey stuff.

There are new photos on the farm website--click through to the Family, Camilla, Gaudia, and Tia pages.

And from suricattus, a quiz.

Whenever you say 'barn' I think of an enclosed structure meant to keep rain and sleet out.

I was seriously boggled by the pictures of yours ;-)

The gang looks great. The double headshot of Capria and Keed - gorgeous.
Camilla is beginning to look more mature, too.

I really need to find out some time whether I 'need' a 16hh Lipp...

You are going to win a lottery and come out here and ride Pandora. You Know This.

I know what you mean about the barn. I came from New England--same parameters. Everything here looked so al fresco when I first arrived. What, no walls? Barely a roof? But in this climate, it makes sense. The one thing I want to do is close off the ends so when we get our winter rains, there's more shelter, but otherwise the airiness of it is really necessary.

The stallion barn actually has walls--solid on two sides, half-walls with pipe bars close together on the other two. It's hot in there if I close a horse in in the summer, which I never do--the big door stays open to the run, which is shaded by a large tree.

Never mind the rude person in the icon--that's the stallion barn beyond her.
