@Anne posted a great pic of her horse in the Dressage Training forum and I wondered if you all had any to share. I took this one when a tree guy caught our guys' attention, and then they all ran for safety. I love watching them in the field.

I love a good photo thread!

Annabelle displaying two different moods :





Tesla discovering that cows aren't as carnivorous as she first suspected:

Annabelle sleeping is a mood. Great pics.

everyone's favorite pinto pony. He knows he's cute and GIVE HIM TREATS! see the ears? come on

Since it's Christmas time:

On a trail ride today before the rain comes. Yes, we're going to actually get rain! The girls looking out over SF bay.

Great pics everyone, I love to see the surroundings as well as the horses!

Here's a couple more from me, a few months back now, so boys in their winter woollies.

I really should be better at taking pictures of the other two.. but at least the breeder of this one is pretty great about sending pictures.

Annabelle is a true chestnut mare!

I need to get some recent photos of Anz ... but, Maia and I had a "does this saddle make my butt look big?" photo shoot Short answer: Yes! No matter how girly stands, she's got a big ol' butt



In perfect happenstance, I caught a few pics of this face. A close up is now DH's lock screen Don't mess with *my* phone. I get even



Maia really is a cute redhead <3 It's not the bleached out beach bum look as she had as a baby, but still pretty adorable.

Lovely pictures. Who doesn't love a picture thread!

I have one in a slightly different mood:



...no comments about horses in padded cells though...

Thank you for the joyful thread. Here are some shots of my dear Emi:

This one is from October 2020, after she cracked a molar. We rode bitless for awhile until she was more comfortable. This was our first ride in it. Her "frankenstein scar" (from before she came to me) is very obvious here!


An "advertising pose" for our farm:


A clean day in turnout:

For balance, I feel I should include a dirty day, too!

Cassidy "modeling" her bridle! I put it on her correctly, and turned around for *one minute*!


Snacking on some hay.

Look what I found at the end of the rainbow ...In all her shagalicious hairy glory.

These are great, and Piedmont, the dirty one is hysterical!

great pics everyone! fun to share.

Susan, the rainbow shot is perfect

This is a new breed called the Mudamino
Seriously, this is my 20 yo retiree who has used up maybe 7 of his 9 lives. He's the one who recovered from a wicked colitis 2 Xmas's ago. Now he just suffers from obesity.

Gotta give old Obie some air time too!

oh! i love that happy snow nose!

great pictures everyone!

This is why I am alive fittish and sane. Lewyn is a special little package. I could wish he was bigger but then I wouldn't have been able to ride him when I was at my worst physically. This was taken last weekend at our state titles.

Here we have two christmas faces of MM.


Season's greetings:

The day Rudy's new saddle came.



Buddies

oh, and Mr. Handsome himself, Tio.

Awwww... great pics everyone.

Well I was hoping to get some candid pictures of my three today and I guess I did. It appears that I wore my guys out this morning. I thought each did very well and managed to show some progress in our training but I really didn't think I over did it with anyone.....LOL.

The view from my back patio when I went out to feed the guys lunch.




I think I broke him.......he is trotting pretty well around under saddle now

I can't leave Ace out of the candid camera series.......


Um, clearly he's no longer in the starving state I found him in when I purchased him

exvet wrote:Um, clearly he's no longer in the starving state I found him in when I purchased him

He's adorably plump

We joke that our horses are starving ...... not a rib in sight anywhere at the barn!

From a play around after the blizzard this week. This was the most sass she could come up with in all that snow.

Haha, poor tuckered ponies! That reminds me of the first real ride I put on my appy, Maya, when I started her. We did maybe 15 minutes in the saddle and trotted 2x around the arena. I put her back in her pen and came back 5 minutes later and she was flat out on her side exhaustipated.

this was fun

They are all beautiful and obviously well loved. I love all the pictures except the ones of horses laying down. Just a personal and odd thing of mine. How does one post pictures here? I've never figured that out.

(Hey, to my dear friend, Madi. If you maybe wondered where I was on Facebook they kicked me off. Lightning struck my old computer and when I got a new one they were convinced I was trying to infiltrate them and won't let me back on.)

Hello Rockabilly! To post pics - hit reply. Look below this big white box to the 2 tabs options/attachments.

Click on attachments and then add files.

It will allow you to browse your files where your pics are stored.

I always have to condense my pictures or will get a message that file is too large.

The easiest way for me to do this is to open the pics BEFORE I download in above steps, and right click on resize. I then get multiple options and choose the smallest option. You will rename and save (make sure you save back to where you got original for ease in finding!). Your computer may vary.

So with new resized/renamed pic, you can go through above steps and the pic will show up in attachments. You then click on "Place inline" (under FILENAME) to upload to your pic. The file will go to where the cursor is, so be aware of that. You can also delete if you want to, you will see that option where your uploaded files are listed. Hope this helps! Pictures please!

TROUBLE ANYONE?

One of these days I’ll figure out how to post. The computer instructions don’t work for me since all of my pictures are on my phone. I rarely get on the computer unless I’m paying bills.

So can we post pics directly from our phone?

Hi Rockabilly!! I miss you! See if you can get help with your FB account, I would love to talk to you on there. Hope all is well with you and yours. So good to hear from you! Merry Christmas! I just put the cards in the mail today so you'll probably get it after Christmas.

I upload them to the Flickr app from my phone. When you look at them on Flickr, they provide photo links under the share options. Usually phone pics are too big to be posted as attachments.

I downloaded a free app onto my phone called resize photo. I then make them smaller on my phone and post directly to the ddbb page

Since I have no good recent photos of Anz (I need to fix that, bad, bad horse person!), here are a few of her from a few years ago. She's teeny and delicate compared to her baby.



I find this one a bit amusing. Anz sneezed and sprung a leak, just like me We've spent far too much of the past 22 years together, and adopted one another's quirks I guess



And more Maia, as a 2yo. She completely obliterated the pasture side of mom's beans. The cucumbers the following summer weren't as interesting. Or perhaps it was the hot chicken wire?

SO, I was trying to do a selfie with the horses for my sister to show her how nice the sweater looks that she gave me. Look at Tio in the background making a goofy face! I've been photo bombed

Sue, I love the Tio photobomb! Nice shot of you both.
Maia leaning into the garden is hysterical.
I actually love the horses resting/sleeping shots, you know, when they are.
MM's grinch and Santa shots are precious too.
I should have gotten a photo yesterday of Emi failing to hand graze in snow...she was like "where did the grass go? Why is it cold? Who did this to us??!!"

I appreciate this thread of good vibes!

Ariel being mellow after a lesson

Beautiful Ariel! Lovely shot of your beloved mare, PaulaO.
