Logging

Well, it wasn’t a huge logging event but, when you’re trying to load up on wood for the winter, it sure feels like it.

My husband and I were cutting out some dead trees in the woods behind us (well I was supervising the cutting down part) and he decided we needed our mare Feather to help out.

So I threw the roping saddle on her and headed down the road.

Dragging logs out of the woods onto the main trail.

There’s something about this mare…I just love.

I always tell people we may not be super great at one thing but, she’s done everything I’ve asked her to do.

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

Weekly Photo Challenge – Carefree

I love taking photos of our “kids” being carefree.

Happy, healthy, feeling their oats and not a care in the world…

…except maybe, which direction did the ball go?

Until next time…Appy Trails Smile

I thought I’d twist this around a little.

What my eyes see.

What the horses see.

Well actually Sophia is the only one here that had issues crossing the “oceans”. We’ve happily overcome that obstacle.

Until next time…Appy trails Smile

The best day ever!

What does a girl like me do on a beautiful fall day?

I do whatever the critters want…

Who needs expensive toys when you have corn fields and stuff around the farm?

When you’re running at the speed of light, it helps to stick out your tongue.

This is a great photo if you don’t mind the fresh “I just rolled in something but, maybe my ear will hide it” look.

Got one shot of Emma as she sat down for 1/100th of a second.

My road to a sane, take me anywhere, horse…

Let’s recycle.

Sora wanted to mow the lawn and walked over.

The wind was blowing. That’s my baby, just keep munching away. Red heart

Oops! Almost forgot the princess!

Until next time…Appy trails Smile

This is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this challenge.

We live on a farm and I think this is a beautiful moment.

Whether you’re a horse, dog, cat, cow, human or basically “All Creatures Great And Small”.

Did you read those books by James Herriot?

You should.

Get ready…

Are you sure you want to see?

Ok…

here…

it…

is…

Inside for 11 months and 10 days.

Outside…finally, after 11 months and 10 days.

Until next time…Appy trails. Smile

My Mother In Law

Posted in Around the farm, Feather, tagged driving, Feather, horse, horses, mother in law, photography on April 14, 2012| 2 Comments »

A couple weeks ago Scott went into town and picked up his mother.

Took her grocery shopping and then brought her out for the day.

Scott was raised with horses and animals. His dad was a farrier and leather craftsman.

She was a great sport about all the dogs.

Gunner just loved her!

I harnessed up Feather for a drive in my cart.

She’s saying “you know this is my horse”! Smile

Ilene always tells me that I would’ve loved to have met Scott’s dad Bob. (he passed away from cancer years before I met Scott) He loved horses and his job.

Smiling Ilene. Of course Whinny HAS to be a passenger!
