It was a dragon...
Or was it just a puffer jacket resting in the grass while its owner pulled up some weeds in a fenceline?
Poetica and Rimfire snorting in symphony.

A road trip down memory lane...to a place where horses dominated life and they are still at large and dominating billboards!
Ann Noble, the Coral Park stables still stand, even the wall that I partially demolished with the front-end loader!
All those paddocks that were once filled with ponies, now homes for people...

Why stress?

There is a tinge of guilt associated with breeding horses (in my soul, anyway!).
We breed them, assure them that humans are decent animals, give them space and time to play and grow...and then transfer responsibility for their well being to others.
And relinquish the control we have on their well being.
They may be better looked after where they go...double rugged, stabled, fed lots of delicious food...but they may not.
It is a strange thing we do, but working with the babies is such a joyous experience...
* Note: all of our ponies have landed on their feet, truly, we have been blessed! Sometimes it is a good thing to be a long way from anywhere...selection criteria 1. Willing to travel or 2. Relatively local.
