    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!!

    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!

    Standardbred. Awesome. Haha I can't tell very much on the breed of a horse just by looking at them, lol. I thought Obie was a thoroughbred for a long time before my trainer said he was a quarter horse...

    OOh the teddy bears are the best!

    I suppose it wouldn't work if I asked you how tall they were?? Maybe you could check with the owners if you dont know. Hehe i'm going through horse-withdrawl since I can't ride until this saturday!

    Ya, that's pretty much all we have here unless it's a big name track.
    My barn is also a 2 minute ride tothe tracks and they are harness racers, no thouroughbreds. Richie was a ex racer from there, he Standardbred and freeze branded.
