Strange little horse. He loves to have his teeth and gums dried...LOL

Bailey and Willow with our resident koala...

Willow watches the tv far too closely! LOL.

Some very crafty people here! I love fish keeping, I have a nice aquarium at home and a small one on my desk here at work. They are good time wasters. I recently took the plunge and got my motorcycle licence. Hubby and I have done loads of trips and we have a blast. I still can't believe I...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I appreciate it.   I hope I haven't painted a bad picture of my Bailey. He really is such a good boy, a goof, but a good boy.   He is really playfull compared to Willow. She is my 'lady' and won't been seen doing anything to ruin her 'lady'...

I don't know, he seems over weight but not too bad...not as bad as I thought he was going to be. Although if he has that cresty neck, you might want to take on the advice of getting bloods taken,

I have shown both Bailey and Willow with an unclipped coat. Yes, I guess it is kind of frowned upon by others but I'm not out to play by the rules. Bailey and Willow both placed well, in fact, Willow came home with numerous 1st place ribbons. I didn't cut off their eyelashes or whiskers or...
