Senior Citizens

Our Seniors. Some of L's barn mates. Every one of these horses is well into their 20s. I think the little Shetland Pony on the far left is in her 30s. Maybe the little mini in the middle too:

I love old horses. They really don't know they're old. They go out and spin and buck and run like 2 year olds. They just don't do it as long as the 2 years old do. And chances are they're going to spend the rest of the afternoon standing there thinking "ow ow ow". But they still have the spirit.

Take this guy.

He's a lovely Andalusian cross. He still has some bounce left in him. He was a little gimpy coming out of the barn and he's probably going to regret this vigorous little trot in the snow. But he's happy and he just can't help himself. I think he sets a fine example.
