Gorgeous horse!

Ty for sharing!

Please snuggle and kiss her nose for me.

There is nothing softer than the nose of a horse.

have a special bond being together since Maddie's birth. Very cool!

You have such a lovely new farm and your animals are so precious. What a sweet pretty horse Maddie is!
Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

... 60-odd years ago, I had a wonderful horse. He was a 14'2 Pinto (Paint?) gelding named Patch, who also had a watch eye on his left. He was a jug-head Mustang from somewhere out west, I assumed, because he had a brand on his left flank, H Bar E. The H and the E shared a vertical stroke, and the horizontal stroke crossed between the two letters. I was always curious about the brand, but in the early 1960's, I didn't know where to begin to research it.
Seeing Maddie's markings, so close in pattern to Patch's, though his were dark brown, got me to thinking about that brand again.
Thanks, George, for bringing back the memory!

... is me at about 14, aside my faithful steed, Patch! I'm 78 now, and haven't been on a horse in 10 years or so. I miss it. One thing I don't miss, though, is when he got tired of a ride, he'd buck a little bit, and I invariably came down on the saddle horn. It's a wonder I'm not a soprano, instead of a baritone!

All so sweet.

Give her a nose pet and kiss for me!

Not knowing the full background, Maddie is Laurie's (Wife or Daughter) horse who has not been on your farm for a while?

Thanks,

Prior to moving week Laurie trailered her horses, Maddie and her half-brother Pete, to board with good friends close to our soon-to-be new farm. Whereas Maddie's with us now, Pete's still boarding because our friends' seven--year-old son took a shine to Pete. Laurie's been giving the youngster riding lessons on Pete in exchange for all the board. Pete will move in with us sometime before next winter.

Thank You for your interest!

All the best to You, Laurie and Maddie. I hope you all enjoy your new home.

As an animal person (I do cat rescue!), I am always grateful to see one of them loved and cared for. Thank you! She's beautiful!

But from these pictures it looks like you already went to heaven and are living the perfect life. You have been blessed George McGovern. Sometimes, good things do come to good people. Thank you for sharing, you never disappoint.

Didn't you also have another horse that was coming with you?

nothing like warm horse breath in the morning!!
