The Love Of A Horse Summed Up In One Picture....

Great thread Gina, love the photos everyone has posted. I don't have any cuddly type photos of me and Rosie - we've only just started cuddling - it's only taken a year :D Will have to get OH to take some piccies.

How's Prince doing?

Don't you just love that feeling!! I had a moment with Horlicks last night after my lesson. Her stable is out of the way from anyone else (she is not the most socialble!!) and after rugging her up, I gave her the carrots she had been so patiently waiting for, and gave her loads of hugs. She looked so happy, and I felt so overwhelmed... silly really as she isn't even mine!!
(I actually have a lump in my thoat thinking about her... how silly!!)

I don't own mine either but i know the feeling well, when he follows me, slobbers on me, has that puppy dog eye look and all the other moments where you just be together, i love that feeling and forget about everything else for a while....bliss!
 
This is my old man Spec and I in 2007 after we pulled up XC at Stafford PN
We came back and he just stood there with a sad look in his eye, as if he was upset.
When i pulled him towards me he shoved his head in my lap and sighed, as if saying sorry Mum, then just stayed there kissing me for about 10 mins

He was put down the other week, and every time I look at this pic I get tears in my eyes, one in a million and love our loved summed up in one
RIP Spec

Excuse my face, nice and sweaty after riding ;)
 
this is me and Ron, taken nearly 3 years ago now.... But it still makes me smile. He's not a cuddly horse, especially not if there's someone else around, and yet he'd come over to see OH and I and the photographer who was going to be doing our wedding photos. My sisters horse was "off-camera" mugging OH for treats, and the photographer got this shot of Ron checking my hands politely for treats.

ETA - sorry its a bit huge!
 
Aghhhhh, dont know how to upload pics, have a really cute one of my spirit with my son Pa, having a moment. I'm the one one that looks after him, but he loves Patrick. He canters up and down following Pa cycling his bike up and down and up and down.... the driveway. (Field is right beside it). They are so cute together. cant wait for spirit to have enough riding done to let Pa up on him, now that'll be special.
 
Gina, i always love the photos of your mum and Badger, they both always look so happy. I hope she can continue to potter about on him and enjoy him for a while yet, but if and when the time comes where she can't ride, he will still be a super cuddly friend :)

Everyone elses pictures are lovely too, made me smile. MY faves of my share:

This is Jake (well, Northeast Decoy Jacob officially), my Shire colt with my neice....he really loves her. Like his antlers...I couldn't believe I was buying my colt antlers.

My Mum and Belle:

Belle had just completely exploded when I was trying to tack her up. I sobbed and sobbed and my Mum came outside to find me... Belle came over all apologetic and I realised that I love her even though she was making it a real struggle for me! :D How could I not love her from looking at that pic?!
 
Great thread Gina, love the photos everyone has posted. I don't have any cuddly type photos of me and Rosie - we've only just started cuddling - it's only taken a year :D Will have to get OH to take some piccies.

How's Prince doing?

Ah is she not the cuddly type? My mare Gem is like that!

Prince is ok thanks. Cheeky as always, he has worked out how to open all the field gates at the mo so regularly lets himself in for a snack, i have to keep inventing ways to keep them closed!

He's hurt his back though, think he's had a slip or fall in the field, so he's off till the 1st Jan, don't mind too much though with this weather at the mo!!! He's perfectly happy long as he's well fed!
 
amazing thread it is so lovely to see everyone and their horses/ponies truly happy, some really great pics!!

Cant work out how to upload pics yet./..will work it out eventually lol.
 
the easiet thing to do is to get a photobucket.com account (free), and follow their instructions for uploading... when you've done that each picture has an IMG code.... click that to copy it, and then paste it into your reply to a thread!

there really are some lovely photos... will ahve to spend some time with my new camera getting some better shots of Ron. :)
 
Our first kiss and the day I promised her she wouldnt leave (so much for a project to sell on :D)
