My BIG horses

[maplegum]

Sorry about the quality of the photos. They are photos of photos.

I owned these horses back in the late 80's, early 90's. We had so much fun!

This was Smokey. We think he was a Welsh cob cross. He was 14.2hh and had the same type of nature as Bailey.

This was Tadgi, my ex's horse. An appy standing at 15.3hh. Now he had the same nature as Willow, a gentle giant.

And both of them together..

Its sad to think they wouldn't be around any longer. I just hope they had a good life after I parted with them as my gelding Smokey, had a rough time before I bought him. He was tethered in a small field and school kids used to flick elastic bands and rocks at him to make him run. Poor horse had no where to go, no where to escape. But - he had a great life with me.

Memories.

AH thanks for sharing them

The love of my life is a horse from the past! Of course my husband is the love of my life now lol

But I will never forget that one special horse

They were very pretty boys

It's fun seeing the biggies

When I first got into minis, I never thought I could enjoy them as much as my riding horses but of course, turns out I enjoy them more and now my riding horse is fat and nearly never ridden (but very loved)
