We're getting horses, kind of... They won't actually be ours, we'll just be boarding them. We have a pasture, about 3 acres, with stables, sitting unused, so we decided to board 2 horses on it. The horses won't be moving in for at least a few weeks though. I'm so excited to have horses in the pasture! Oh, and the couple who own the horses have offered to give me riding lessons!

It'll be a few weeks. The stabes need a little cleaning up and the fence needs repair before they can come. I'll post pictures when they get here.Originally Posted by KittyGurl

I bet you're excited. I wish we had a horse. I love them they're so beautiful.

They're coming today! I really thought it would take a few weeks to get everything ready for them, but the people who own the horses came over yesterday and brought family to help get everything done. I'll take and post pictures tonight.

The horses are here. The place they were boarded was about an hour away and the family only got to see them on weekends, they now will see them daily. That is one of the reasons the moved them here. The other big reason was the care at the other place went way down hill, they wern't happy there anymore. They are really happy to have their horses here now. They both need a good bath, but that will happen another day once they are a little more settled in here.
This is Comet
This is Cisco, he was a rescued race horse
I'll take more pictures once they've settled in some. I'll be sure to get some of them in the field.

seriously, doing my best
Beautiful horses, I really like Cisco! What breed are they, do you know?
Can't wait for more pictures!

I have no idea what breed they are. My knowledge of horses is very limited, but I'm learning.
I've taken Nathan out to see the horses a few times today. He's not too sure what to think of them, he's not the least bit scared of them though.
They are both so incredibly sweet. I think if it were possible Comet would curl up in my lap and cuddle with me, he has such a puppy dog personality. Comet used to be used to give riding lessons to young kids and the family that owns him have a 5 year old that rides him all the time.
Cisco has a bit more spunk. He was a race horse that was injured and was going to be PTS until this family intervened and nursed him back to health. He's really sweet and a joy to be around.
Because it's so hard to maneuver the camera while carrying Nathan I probably won't get a chance to take any more pictures until this weekend.

I don't know squat about horses but aren't all racehorses Thoroughbreds? I dunno. I used to love reading about horses way back when, so my knowledge is limited and I could be wrong
They are beautiful, by the way. I wish we could board horses!!
I'm here and I'm there
Actually a few other race horse breeds are the standardbred, Quarter Horse, and umm Arabian I believe?
Anyways They are absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on the *sorta* new additions!!

They do also race paints and appaloosas, oddly enough, besides those others mentioned, of course he's not one of those, LOL.
I do beleive he is a Standardbred, harness racing horse. They do not freeze brand the necks of thoroughbreds, that is done on the inside of the top lip. They do freeze brand the necks of purebred Standardbred horses though, so I beleive that's what he is. He looks very much like one.
How nice it must be to look out and see horses, I know I get great comfort just watching mine sometimes. Even if they aren't yours we can all enjoy them too and I'm glad they are boarding there.
Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!
I love you baby, passed away 03/04/2008
