Hi everybody! Here is an easy way for me to show you all some photos of my horses and the beautiful valley where I live. Feel free to add comments so I know you've visited :0) Love from Leith
At 7:30 am yesterday morning, I woke up to the bingeley boop of a txt arriving . . . it read:
"Get up! Your horse has a little suprise 4 u! Yippee! Hooray! Avon. tee hee"
I actually only read as far as the second exclamation mark before leaping out of bed. Ross and I rushed outside to greet the newest member of our family. The sideways bulge in Pip's tummy was gone . . . replaced by a little chestnut creature with a very white nose and ridiculously long legs.
Currently we have six horses on my family's farm. Three belong to my younger sisters, and three to me. My three mares are named 'Grenade', 'Pipistral' and 'Honey'. Grenade is an Arab-cross mare (14.3 hands) who I have owned for about 10 years. She is currently in foal to a little Welsh Mountain Pony stallion. Pipistral is a black mare (about 14 hands), half Quarter Horse and half English Riding Pony. She is also in foal (we think!). Honey is Pip's eldest daughter. She is a chestnut Quarter Horse filly (about 14.1 hands), about a year and a half old.
ChrisP: That foal couldn't possibly have come out of that horse, it's far too big! That's just plain silly! Next you'll be telling me men evolved from apes! (10/20/05)
Lois: It really happened! He/she looks gorgeous in the flesh too, tho I didn't have a close look in case mother horses are as stroppy as mother cows can be sometimes (& it was pouring with rain) Well done Leith! Love Lois (10/26/05)
