When the camera is out, Brenna knows it. Don’t you love how she paraded her precious princeling past me? LOL
He seems quite the Mama’s Boy
Sticking by her side
Where Ms Roslyn, OTOH, has her own agenda
They are both beautiful Bebe’s
Thanks for sharing them.
Trying to not be soooooo jelly of your gorgeous acreage
she soooo does! She’s already flirting with the geldings next door! (much to Rizada’s chagrin)
Hussy!
Does she do the Clack for them?
amazingly, no. But Hazel clacks for them. She doesn’t.
Roslyn looks like a carbon copy of her mom already!
I feel like getting to scritch Hazel’s curly forehead would heal something in me
OH!!! well then, have i got a video for YOU!..will youtube it in a sec
STOP I can’t take it! He’s too cute
He is a little bit bitey, but not kicky…so that’s good. I’ve swatted him a couple of times when his teeth have connected.
Yesterday he bit through my shirt, i said: OUCH!!! and Brenna immediately, very quickly, led him away! (“it’s not good to bite the gods Hazel”). lol
Oh, my
Someone has a very strong opinion of herself
Hazel, OTOH, may be Royalty, but the booty/head scritches make him a Foal of the People
i think we are lesser gods. gods who, when agreeable, can make excellent partners. But who, can inflict pain and suffering from which there is no escape. when i see the starving horses in kill pens, i see what horrible gods we can be. My aim in life it to be a benevolent god that enables autonomy, independence and a whole lot of freedom. I have created, i make that world for them to live in.
I no longer consider myself a christian, but I often think about Adam’s charge in Genesis to be a good steward of creation. And what that means in terms of our humanity- not to control the natural world nor impose our morals/will on it, but to honor and nurture it. And, at times, decentering our own desires if it means creation will flourish. With domesticated animals in particular, we have great power and great responsibility.
Anyway /ramble
I used to go to the Shipshewana auction with friends.
Things I saw in the Killpen & even sometimes outside it made me furious. And sickened.
Especially the aged Belgians who’d given some farmer so many years of service
Bless you for your work in giving these feral horses & all your animals a life they deserve.
yeah…poor gentle beasts. They are such sweet sweet horses…
Caution: Long and boring video!
That darn slow-motion button is just tooo close to the Video. So, i catch a lot of slo-mo and lose a lot of videos. Every once in a while one of the slo-mo ones is interesting. Here’s a slo-rub on Hazel-rah yesterday evening if you have some time to kill lol.
Here’s Hazel clacking at Aunt Rizada. Brenna doesn’t seem to like it. (she so bad)
hazel clacking
It was such a beautiful day here. This evening i cleaned a saddle out in the pasture and enjoyed watching the horses graze.
