Horse babies: They are to die for
May 13, 2010
Sometimes this horse passion really is just about sitting back and watching all the beautiful horses in the world. I have always loved watching horses, especially this time of year. Horse baby season is upon us, and they are all cute. My friend, Carol, however raises some particularly cute horse friends, and this year is no exception. Click on the photo at left to launch a little slide show of the latest addition to the horse family at Painted Prairie Ranch! (Make sure to expand the pop-up window so you can see the whole thing. The control buttons are at top-right.)
Raising horses is not for the faint-of-heart, but if you think you might like to try it, I recommend Blessed are the Brood Mares. We bred and raised Billy, one of the real-life horse characters in Winning Bet, and he turned out fine, thanks in large part to help from Blessed are the Brood Mares.
