Visit to Tony's farm last week (pics)

[Lori]

We were visiting friends in Austin last week and I emailed Tony about visiting his farm. He was glad to show us around and really made us feel welcome. What an experience. Here are a few pictures of the mares coming in from the back field.

He called them and what an awesome site to see all those mares running. My camera is zoomed all the way and they still are far away. Just wanted to share and thank Tony again for being such a great host.

This is just a small portion of the herd running in, they kept coming and coming. It was incredible to watch.

When they figured out we weren't anything exciting, they headed back out.

Tony IS an incredible host! It's amazing how much he can tell you about each and everyone of his horses. He is a very curtious and knowledgable man to talk to. I've only been to his farm a couple of times without coming away with something.........at least right away

Lori, I appreciate your taking the time out of your trip to come for a visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the time with you, your husband, and Victor, and hope that you will be able to come again. Thanks to everyone else for your comments, too, most of you know how we love having visitors and sharing our passion for our horses. Just remember, when you've seen enough, just say "UNCLE". LOL.

: It would be a dream to visit his farm. I pray sometime in my life, I get the chance

: You are very lucky, and thanks for sharing the pic's!!!

Now I really wanted to come for a visit and I thought I am in Oklahoma "maybe" did a mapquest, almost a 6 hour drive, too far for a Sunday drive. You would never here me say "UNCLE", my husband yes, but I would be out in that pasture gettting to know everyone! It happens every time we visit someones farm, I ask if its ok to go meet the horses, my husband stays behind (doesn't like to walk, out of shape, I wonder why) visiting with the folks, I visit with the horses and he has to call me back.

Thanks for sharing!! What a fabulous picture and I bet that was a sight from heaven!! All those little horses running through such a lovely backdrop!! WOW.

Tony, you certainly are a lucky person to be able to just see that as a view every day!! I would just be content to sit out there every day and just watch them all!

That first pic should be enlarged and hung on someone's wall!! What a great shot!

from personal experience with Tony's horses I can only agreed that it is amazing to have such a large herd of horses running towards you, and they get a BIT just a tiny bit closer when it is feeding time

wonderful horses, and I so miss them, wish I were alloved to fill my pockets when I left, so kind and friendly, each with their own personality.
