Horsing Around
Horsing Around This horse image was captured several years ago near Wind Cave NP in South Dakota.
Horse on the Ranch
Horse on the Ranch On a late afternoon drive around the ranch several November’s ago, this horse was awash in sunset light. He almost looked like he had been posed in the wood fence corral for us to capture an image or two.
Polo Match
Polo Match The Polo season appears to be coming to a close in the midwest. Hope to get to more matches next year.
Think Spring: Colt
Think Spring: Colt With the cold weather, some folks like to think spring. What is more spring than a foal colt?
Illinois Horse Farm
Illinois Horse Farm And, those horses are Clydesdales; a draught horse breed from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland. Although originally one of the smaller breeds of draught horses, it’s now a tall breed; often bay in color with white markings. The breed was originally used for agriculture and haulage. Today, they’re still used for draught purposes. Of course, the Budweiser Clydesdales are some of the most famous Clydesdales.
Polo Anyone?
Polo Anyone? Today’s polo games were just a couple of miles from my house. I have driven by the polo field many times but never stopped until now. It’s a private field, but today it hosted a charity event and women’s polo competition. Polo people know how to have fun. They dress up, have raffles, bring the family, and camp out on the field for the afternoon. Of course, you must love horses.
Old Times Like New
Old Times Like New Mackinac Island provides an opportunity to live somewhere in a slower paced time similar to our grandparents. Driving a horse-drawn carriage around the island reminds me of my grandparents telling me stories of their childhood. Sometimes, we all yearn for simpler times.
High Country Horse
This high country horse would rather there were no fences on his Montana ranch.
