Mrs. Belyea,

He looks a little miffed at having to wear Sadie's scarf. Would you like me to make him one of his own. They have camoflauge colored yarn at Walmart. He could even retrieve birds in it...

We have a friend in Minneapolis who said the weather is below 0.
I don't know if I could live there.

Looks amazing. I can see why you love it there.

The first time I rode a horse, Peggy's Rojo was her name, she got spooked by something (I have no idea what) and threw me off into the only mud puddle in my father's 3 acre back pasture... Ugh! I was 13. Perhaps my dad should have started me earlier and then I might have your passion.

Wow, you've been on those hoofed types a long time! Sure beats the internal combustion engine.

I've always loved horses and wanted to learn how to ride..never did it. My daughter has shown an interest in horses and I thought about adopting one in Shady Ranch...never got to it. Seeing these pics makes me wonder if I should pursue it. LeAnne Aidt at the high school has recently adopted a horse that was abused and nearly starved to death and has nursed her back to health...such a great

I look forward to all of your posts. The endless stream of beautiful horses and photos make the site a joy to visit. You were in the saddle at an early age.

You're not horsing around when it comes to horses. Hardee har har.

Seriously, you've got quite a stable. How many horses do you have? There's a school sport for us - equestrian class with a corral of horses. Be more fun than a room full of computers.

2008-11-08T09:51:00.000-08:00

I was exposed to horses at an early age in Pennsylvania. We had no ranch and did not ever own a horse, but the riding stables were just a few miles away and for $6 an hour, me and friends would scour the countryside on horseback.
Haven't been on one in probably 30 years. Never got to know the personality of an individual horse. Always felt I was missing something special there. Do you know

2008-11-05T23:06:00.000-08:00

Great pic sarah. I don't know how you do it, selling a horse, especially when you grow attached to it. I'm sure he is in good hands.

I hope ahab is in a good place now.

You should have been my father's daughter. He moved us to the ranchette they still live on today back in 1987. The house came with a horse. My dad was exstatic. We could care less. He tried to ignite a passion for western horseback riding in us. We were more concerned with how high we could hairspray up or bangs. You and I will have to take a Fields trip one of these days and you can meet

Heidi- unfortunately, the horse market is really bad right now, and horses are getting sold to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. People make money for horse meat :(

Annie was lucky to finally find you and your family. Although the time was brief, you will never forget her and in that way she lives on. Thanks for sharing. Her story is spreading.

2008-10-06T19:21:00.000-07:00

Wow, Sarah! Roxie is a beautiful horse! I was just telling my 12 year old niece about the horse craze I went through when I was about 10 or 11 years old. I used to save up my allowance ($1.00 a week), so that I could take an hour horseback riding lesson ($4.00 an hour!) Of course, that was before I got into music. Then all my money went into buying albums! Thanks for sharing the photos!

2008-10-04T22:08:00.000-07:00

Hi Sarah! I too grew up in a double teacher income household. In fact, my mother worked at a catholic school that relied on a parent organization to pay her salary (half of a public teachers salary). Like you, I had no clue how little we had growing up. I knew we never had the latest games or toys, but we did not need them. I think my parentals spent a bit of their hard-earned moneys repairing

2008-09-29T18:57:00.000-07:00

Sarah, I love that you have had all those horses! I don't have any experience with any animals bigger than a dog, but I see the attraction. I too grew up in a teacher-income household, but never felt like we went without. There was always money for music lessons, model railroads, a bicycle junkyard to piece together the latest homemade hybrid, Enjoy your parents company while you and they

2008-09-18T19:57:00.000-07:00

Sarah,

You know my parents have 7 or 8 horses, but I never ride them. I have such a fear of them. They are very large and powerful with a mind of their own. Any suggestions for overcoming this issue?

Hi there. I enjoy equestrians experiences. Though i have only been riding once. It was great riding through the washes of Tucson with my wife and in-laws.

I do not have the love of the horse, but I do like to hear about others' love for them. Can't wait to hear more.
