Horse, horse, horse

The first horse, Bourbon , a 19 year old gelding paint, with our favorite little cowboy. He came to live with us Thanksgiving weekend 2009.

Romeo joined us in May 2010 -- he is a 15-year-old bay gelding quarter horse with some thoroughbred blood, possibly one of the most beautiful horses you'll ever see in pasture.
We weren't sure how the boys would get along -- Bourbon's owner had told us that he didn't always get along with other horses. But the fact that Romeo is quite a bit bigger made it clear just who was the boss. They got along just fine :)

Romeo is the right size for Andy! He enjoyed quite a few rides before leaving for his trip, and we were happy to see him on a horse that he didn't dwarf.

Coming next ... horse #3, Riley, a mare, is introduced to the mix...... I need to download pictures and then I will put them on.Here she is -- not a very good picture, but you get the idea. Put her next to Romeo and she looks tiny -- she's actually pretty skinny, so not very fun to ride bareback, which is what Abby was preparing to do as I took this picture.
