Gorgeous horses you have, Andrea! And don't worry about your English, I am sure you will do fine! I love your horse's spots! What breed is he/she? Will they be traveling with you to the MGLI?

"Traveling" might be a little difficult ...

Not sure if they'd *fit* under the airplane seat!

But then, there's always a BOAT ...

Hey Girls,
thanks for your welcome!
hmm, karen, i think to put Merlin & Lasso in my trolley could be a little bit difficult

maybe my little pony Asterix

My black gelding called "Merlin" is a Percheron. The spotted gelding "Lasso" is a Mix from Noric & Ardenn.

This is my pony-mix (Shetland x icelandic) "Asterix"

Then i own a "Southgerman Draft" called "Flori", he is a brown gelding

this is my (now) 1jear old noric stallion "Rambo"

my friend love the colour from his horses - we say "fox" (like the chicken eating woodanimal

- i like more darker and spotted horses!
Pictures from my friends horses in the next posting (there are only 10 pics allowed!)

Next month i will book our flight (for me and my honey Michael

)!

Its very hard for me to write english (thinking, translation and writing together) - because my scool english is nearly 15 Years ago ... but its a good practise for me to speeking than again in the USA. Here in Germany i have no or less contact to english speaking peoples ...

So, i have to work now again ... the horsefood is expensive ;-)

Greetings to USA

ANDREA from Bavarian - Oktoberfest

**Drafthorse** · 02-17-2009, 04:18 AM

and this are the horses from my friend Michael:
tree stallions (same breed like Flori - "Southgerman Draft")
"Bubi"

"Georgie" (the son from Bubi)

and "Vaco" - a now 1year old stallion

WOW!! Amazing and gorgeous pics!! I don't have horses, but my sis does.

Hehe Ramanth, I bursted out laughing when I saw these Belgian butts, haha. I am a Belgian too, but not with that kind of butt, lol!!

Hey Andrea, I am happy to welcome another "neighbour" on PT!! I live in Belgium, near Gent

OH, its great! My Lasso was born somewhere in Belgium, but i dont know where exactly ... somewhere in spring 1989 or 1990 ... and 1994 he was imported to germany - 1996 bought him a good friend of me, and 2005 i bought him and he will stay with me till his end ... but i hope this will be in 20 years ;-)

Greetings from the snow!
