Friday's -- Horses and Around The Farm

[George McGovern]

Back at the old farm we had a broodmare called Misty. Barn name Mama.
She was Maddie's mother.

And Pete's.

Altogether Misty gave us nine babies. I don't know names, but here are
some others. She was a wonderful Mama.










Misty was a fine and fun old lady.

2. Where were these taken?

Absolutely GLORIOUS scenery!

6. The horses' photos were taken at our old farm in central Washington state. We

were there for 23 years until moving to this new farm north of Spokane Washington, from which Around The Farm pix came.
Thank You Very Much calimary!

4. Nine babies?

All beauties! She even gave you a black one. A friend in Montana raised Painteds, long before we met, still had a gorgeous black left of his herd. He educated me on the value of the black horse. I met other breeders in the valley and learned a few things about raising horses and though I still know little, I do have a better appreciation for these fine beings.

Great pictures! It's nice to see real horses first thing than just multiple versions of the same old horse's ass all over the front page!

9. Where do I start 2naSalit? I'm still chuckling from your "old horse's ass" observation!LOL!

At nine years old my wife came by her first horse. It was a Paint and a life-long love was born. "Fast forward" to 1993 when I married her, her two teenagers, and two Paints. Through Misty and another broodmare we raised Paint babies for years. Breeding and raising horses is quite a "field."

Subsequently, we switched over to boarding retired horses. We became good
friends with loving owners, who wanted more than anything to give back all
that their horses had given them.

Thank You for your kind reply!

Just what the doctor ordered for my foggy brain this morning. 🙂. SO much better than looking at news headlines.

11. Misty produced beautiful babies. That is quite the snow and frost you've got

there. Looks as if the barn is humming right along - progress.

12. She blessed us time and again Lois. Lookin' toward Spring! Progress is good. Thank You!
