Sox is very handsome, and he knows it!

Is Organza black? I've always has a 'thing' for black mares since I was eleven, when I met Ebony, 16.2HH and a coat like velvet **sigh**

[Nicos]

Aww...they're all lovely!
Thanks for sharing!

[mr darcy]

she's a black merens pure bred, a french pyrenees mountain horse, all black with a white star, 14.2 hh big enough for me!!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

He looks lovely Mr D. Glad youve managed to get a sweetie.
Had to laugh when I saw your pony though..shes lovely too..but currently at home i have two horses, both jet black with a star. One 17hh IDxTB and her foal by an American PaintxStandardbred. When Im at home I'll have to dig out a pic for you and PB.
By the way dont feel too guilty, sunshine and chickens definately come before housework..it says so in my rulebook I'm SUPPOSED to be putting in my suppliers order but just had to have a quick look to see if you had added a pici first, after all Id never concentrate if I didnt.

[mr darcy]

Well Ive had a quick root, so meet Erryn (mum) and 'will you get out of my face you little s*** and put that brush down, and DONT chase the geese/chickens'.....Foals huh. Actually her stable name is Daisy Mae, at the moment, Al calls her 'princess' which is not appropriate
!





And if theres a piebald amongst these thats dad, Otto

[mr darcy]

oooh ta for those Hilly!!! lovely mum, gorgeous baby..how old now? and dad's a smasher too! Are they all yours? or was dad brought in for services
My girls off to the stallion next year now as I've missed the boat with her tests and rhino vacs for this year, the cover calendar for the stallion I've chosen is getting full..here he is

not a bad lad, his name's Khaa de Bigorre, my girl is Organza de Cabalou, meaning 'protector from the wolves'!!!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Okay...I'm in love and may not get any work done at all today!! Stunning horses ladies, I'm very very jealous.

[mr darcy]

and he's top level dressage, piaffs and everything, I too am in love!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Aah! I adore dressage!!
I never was much good at jumping, and I was introduced to the wonders of dressage by an ex-Lifeguard (Stephen) who was our riding instructor. He used to have us doing 'Drillwork' too, where the class of 8 or so horses would work as 'rides', changing the rein by filtering through each other and so on. I learnt so much about ringcraft from him.

One day he decided we were going to do drillwork to music. He was setting everything up, and did a little test of the volume on the school speakers. I was in working trot on Ebony, when suddenly her tempo changed and I couldn't do anything about it. 'What's she doing?' called Stephen. 'I don't know!' I called back...then after a few seconds he said 'OMG, she's going in time with the music!'. And that's why I loved her.
