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

tree stallions (same breed like Flori - "Southgerman Draft")
"Bubi"

"Georgie" (the son from Bubi)

and "Vaco" - a now 1year old stallion

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!
