Saturday's Horses - Maddie & Pete - Neighbors Satine and Pistol

Our neighbor Grace brought her other mare over. Her name is Pistol.
She's on the right.

Satine looking at camera.

Satine by herself.



Maddie and Pete ~
Their first time in the barn together. It's why Laurie built her barn.


They were grazing. Suddenly Maddie raised her head and looked right at me.

She dropped her head, ate some more.

Then looked at me again. As if she knew she was on camera.


Eating dinner.



Shadow likes to harass the horses. We don't like her to. She has a bark collar, which helps. The other mornng she got Pete teed off.


But usually they ignore THAT DOG.

Wonder why Shadow insists on barking at the horses? If only they could tell us.

“Sateen is a soft, durable fabric utilizing a satin weave structure but crafted from spun yarns (typically cotton) rather than continuous filaments. Its signature four-over-one-under threading exposes more thread surface, creating a buttery-smooth texture, a gentle sheen, and an elegant drape, commonly favored for luxurious bed linens.”

Now I think of crackers (Saltines) when I spell her name. Anyway, she is gorgeous and seems to be very savvy. The horses 🐎 are all magnificent.

My Scout barks at horses, too. She runs along the fence line with them. More play barking than “you annoy me barking,”

What a lovely respite from this troubled country.

I love that Shadow felt the need to interject a bit of mischief. You go girl!

As always, thanks George McGovern for your wonderful posts.

Hugs to you, friend.
