OK, you guys, this is it. I didn't think my camera would work as it's so cold right now but I thought I'd go try anyway and I am very shook up, I can't find my camera. This is my beloved camera, I need it to survive and I can't find it, I thought and thought and can't remember where I've had it, it's always here on my desk or in my purse and it is not here, period. But I can still tell you what I am doing and I will have to find it or go get a new one and will then post pictures to show you.
I have tossed around the idea of raising a few mini mules but didn't really want to use my reg mares as I am down to 14 now. So I had a chance to get these four little black mares, they are very nice, rounded little butts, pretty heads and in good shape. They're friendly and just nice little horses. The people wacked there tails off right by the bone instead of taking the burdocks out. They actually have one more that they were keeping for the kids and the guy I got these from thinks he'll end up with that one too and if so, I'll get her and have her join up with her sisters. These mares are from 3 to 8 yrs old and about 31 to 34 inches tall. One has two white socks in back, one has a tiny white star on her forhead so I can tell them all apart now.
I put them in one pen yesterday, came home and they'd jumped out so now they're in with my big herd, which I don't like putting new horses right in but I almost had to. I am going to run them in the pen this summer with my little black jack, Tarbaby and see what happens. I would expect some mini mules, I've had a few people tell me they'd like one or 2, we'll have to see what will happen. What I wanted to do was to turn these four out in the pasture, connected to the one they'd been in yesterday, where the snow is totally fresh and untouched and about 6 inches deep, that'd have been so pretty, the dark horses and the white snow.
It's like having a flower garden, their names are Iris, Violet, Rose and Pansy.
But the guesses were cute you guys, thanks for the fun you gave me. I will still post pictures asap.
