Seeing as I haven't posted pics in forever, I figure I'll do all my catching up in one post. We've been taking it easy here, but I have what I feel is pretty big news. Grandma got both knees replaced over the winter, and has actually been out enjoying the horses for the first time in years. Barn and pasture visits that were supposed to be for deciding prices turned into "She's so sweet! We have to keep this one." No breeding or showing this year, as I was trying to slowly adjust to the idea of a life without minis, but Grandma's been pouting about no babies or ribbons all summer.

So I am exposing a couple of the mares for June babies, when I will be home from school. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it; having no babies this year was almost worse, because I just spend that much more time out in the pasture with all of our homebred horses remembering when they were born and missing their sires and dams that have passed on. In addition to getting extra attention, they've all been getting extra treats of course. Instead of eating when I feel bad, I guess I feed my horses.

I don't know if I've ever been as excited about buying horses as I am right now about keeping the ones we have.

Anyway, on to the pics.

In light of recent events and posts to the forum, I would like to reassure everyone that my chubbies' diets have all been modified, and several are receiving moderate exercise to get them to a more ideal weight.

And that's it for now I swear! Thanks so much for putting up with my rambling and excessive pictures. I'm honestly just so thrilled right now. *sigh* Think I'll go out and give 'em some scratches.
 
Oh my...I think we should all get each other mini treadmills for christmas!!

Though...deep down, the fatties are so squishy and adorable!! And well...they hurt more when they step on you =)
