Saturday's Horses - Catching up with Pete and Maddie.

Pete and Maddie live in their corral, in their approximately two acre
in-between pasture and the recently opened up five acre pasture.
As yet their barn quarters are not finished.

Before Laurie completed necessary fencing, the Kids stayed
full-time in their corral, which was adequate, not cramped.


When the horses are in their pen, they do the best they can.



This is the in-between pasture, around two acres, including
the barn. It's flanked by the corral and the big pasture.







Just the other day, Pete and Maddie were heading up the
fence line to get to their new five-acre pasture.

Reaching the gate, they sauntered out.

We suspect the two like having some room out there to graze.

And romp around.

I was going to say something about early birds and worms, but I'd rather show you this Robin perched at sunset.

And each of them resembles the very first horses I knew.

I was fortunate that as a teenager I took care of a neighbor's two horses and Shetland pony, which pretty much satisfied my horse lover's itch.

Happy grazing, Pete and Maddie.
