Some more photos of my friend's horses

I have more photos of my friend's horses that I took when my daughter took her riding lesson last week.

This first photo is of one of my friend's dogs. His name is Rocky.

Can anyone guess his breed? I bet EssTer would know.;)

Clips the Morgan came out for a drink after he had already been ridden for a lesson.

Mickey came out for a minute then ran back in the barn.

Sorry that one was blurry but he ran so fast!

A few more photos in the next post.

Clips decided to have a good roll in the dirt.

Can I adopt Clips?!! ;) :p

Sooo pretty!


Great photos - thanks!

I am so in AWE over the beauty of horses! I love them so much!!! Thank you for sharing these gorgeous creatures!!!:D

Simply gorgeous pictures! I cannot get over Clips deep rich coloring, sooo beautiful, or should I say 'handsome' since he's a male- hehe. Love the pictures!! *waits for more*

Wonderful pictures. How old is your daughter again? I think you've said it but my horible memory is taking a role here. :p

At first, when I opened the thread, expecting horsies, I see Rocky and i'm like "HUH?"

Great pics!!! Those are beautiful horses!!

Is Rocky's breed Greenland Dog or Icelandic Sheepdog?
Those are my guesses.. :) He's a beautiful dog!!!

Absolutely Beautiful Pics!!!!

Its' easy when you have such Great Subjects!!!!!

All the Horses are Beautiful!!!!

And Rocky!!!!
You are a Stunning Pupper!!!!
Just Look at that Smiling Face!!!!:)

What kind of dog is he????
I thought he was an Akita mix....

Glad the lessons are going well!!!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.:)

Zippy, how are you with a horse that is a handful to ride?
Clips is a horse with a lot of go, when he walks he wants to trot, when he trots he wants to canter, when he canters he bucks!
He is a sweetheart as long as you are not on his back.;)
I know his owner doesn't want to part with him anyway so sorry you can't have him.:p

YLL, I do have photos of 10 other horses including an Arabian and a couple of paint horses but I don't have them ready to post yet.
Will you be back next weekend or the weekend after?
I can have them ready by then. You will just have to wait.;)

Kfamr, she just turned 8.

BCBlondie, one of your answers is right.:)
I will wait until EssTer replies to tell everyone the answer.

Delidog, I first thought Rocky was a Sheltie mix but I was wrong.
His owner got him from a breeder in Maine, I think his breed is pretty rare around here.
My daughter loves riding, she will be doing her first show this summer.:)

Those horses are so pretty. I really like the black one. The Morgan is nice, too. Looks like you had a pretty day for riding and taking pics. Sometimes with horses, you just have to be there a while and observe to get some good pics.
I edited this to say that I wasn't saying your pics were bad, by the way.

I KNOW I KNOW.. it's an Icelandic sheepdog, right? :D Here are lots of them :D

And those horse photos are AWESOME!!!I really enjoyed them...Those horses are so beautiful :)

That's what I first thought he was, too. Maybe we're right. :)

Great pictures! I think Clips is my favorite. What a beautiful guy! :D

Yes EssTer and GoldenRetrLuver, you are both right!:D :D
Rocky is an Icelandic Sheepdog!
I did a search on Google about the breed and found out that there are only about 150 of them in the US so they are pretty rare here.
I also found out that the breed description fit him perfectly, he is always happy and friendly, loves to greet people and loves living on a farm.:)
