    Three horses and a burrow!

    Hey, all! I don't usually post over here, but, I met some beautiful animals today, and, thought I'd share the photos with you. My step brother dressed up as a character from The Lord of the Rings for Halloween and wanted to have his photo taken on the back of a Shire horse. He's a police officer and they keep several of their mounts at this farm about twenty minutes from my house. I went with him to take the photos. It was awesome! Check out dog general if you wanna see the adorable puppy that was there, too! Here's the link...farm puppy

    Trouble (apparently the leader of the herd)

    Harvey and Shiloh...I couldn't get many of them because Trouble kept coming over to me, and, they wouldn't while he was there.


    Windchime, the burrow. This little man is over forty years old and the farm is named after him. He was sweet, and, noisy!

    And, last but not least...Beorn. He's over 2600 pounds and stands over 18 hands at the withers, he was beautiful! My step brother is tall, so, the photo of me in the saddle was taken after Allen had been on. So, the stirrups were nowhere near my feet!

    Isn't Beorn magnificent?! He ate some apples out of my hand and spit all over my shirt in the process. It was funny...and, nasty! The two guys that were there invited me to go riding with them sometime soon. I hope I get to go! And, Windchime is adorable! And, so tiny! I need to see if I got one where you can see how small he is in comparison to the horses.

    I want a little donkey!!!

    My neighbors had a donkey and a few horses, the donkey always wanted to play and frolick with the horses, but they just used to ignore him. So when i go home, I always launch some carrots to him.

    They said that Shiloh is sorrel. Red roan is a color, not a breed, right? I'm not that educated on horses, sorry. But, I did ask her color. And, they said sorrel, which I have heard of before...and, she's a quarter horse. As far as I could tell, Harvey was just really dark brown or black. But, I'll ask them again when I see them next week (hopefully!). He's a thoroughbred. And, trouble is a quarter horse.

    Yeah, those Shires are really big horses, I love how they lower their heads so that they can be haltered...if he put his head up, it'd be over 8 feet up!

    Aw, that's sweet of you to wanna see him! I actually didn't get any pictures of him with my camera. He wanted me to get photos with his two cameras, so, I was busy snapping away with those two when he was around. Actually, hold on! I do have one photo of him walking in front of me, but, behind Beorn. So, you don't see the front of his outfit...but, it's still cool! I'll post it in just a moment!

    Here's my step brother, Allen, walking towards Beorn. He wanted a spot that didn't show any modern things...telephone polls, etc...so, we walked for a few feet to a good spot. I was bringing up the rear.
