They are such wonderfully sociable creatures, and I adore them. I’ve taken many photos in the past little while of these beautiful animals, and I wanted to share some with you today. Like of this cutie.
This one was very friendly and inquisitive, too, and if it wasn’t for the fence, s/he would get even closer.
This beauty was a little shyer and decided to maintain a safe distance.
On another country road, I got out of the car to snap some photos of a farm setting, and these two emerged from behind the barn, obviously curious.
They decided to stroll over to take a closer look. *Squeal with delight*
The light-coloured horse was much bolder and moved in as close as possible.
She took a deep whiff as I happily snapped away. Look at the size of these nostrils!

Isn’t she beautiful?

| Can we take this one home? |
I am always happiest when I’m outdoors enjoying the beauty of nature, and the company of glorious animals such as these.

Great photos, Martha. I would have wanted to take the little blondie flirt home with me as well. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to, but she wouldn't fit in the car :)
DeleteI'm always amazed at your pictures Martha! I can just see the intelligence the eyes of the beautiful creatures. Thank you for bringing them into my home this morning :) Have a great day and I hope you are able to enjoy the sunshine this morning.
ReplyDeleteThey are very beautiful creatures. And they are always so friendly. I can't find a way to fit one in my backyard :)
DeleteHappy first day of spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doug. Spring doesn't seem to know it's spring, though!
DeleteThose horses are beautiful, and your photos are magnificent!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chung! And thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteGreat photos! Nothing is softer than a horse's nose. I always think of my Dad when I see farm horses. He loved horses so much and farmed with them when he was a youngster in the Depression.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice memory of your father, Debra.
DeleteThe horses obviously sense you are not a threat and have really good 'energy' that they want to be near.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Martha. You captured 'your new friends' perfectly.
You might be right, Jim. I'm certainly no threat to them, just a fanatical photographer...LOL...
DeleteThey really do flock to you!! Horses are such beautiful and lovely creatures. They are among the most majestic of all animals.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are truly among the most majestic of all animals; one of my favourite animals.
DeleteI think they were fishing for carrots! :) It has been ages since I have even been around a horse. When I was a wee one, the house my parents rented was on a farm and the landlord kept a horse on it. His name was Corky and dad would saddle him up and take us for rides.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right! And I will start bringing carrots along at some point as a thank you for being such great photo subjects :)
DeleteI love the name Corky for a horse! I bet going for rides on him was a lot of fun.
They are indeed magnificent creatures...and you have captured their beauty and spirit wonderfully, Martha.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Beth. I find my peace out on these country roads. It's always a great day when we take a drive out there.
DeleteGlorious smile and it's all thanks to a horse ~~~ isn't it amazing what animals can do to you and for you, Martha!
ReplyDeleteLove these photos!
thanks for this!
Ron
Yes, it is quite amazing what animals can do to you and for you! I'm always happiest when I'm around them.
Deletecute horses
ReplyDeleteAnd friendly!
DeleteGorgeous! Followed Sophie and Ron's breadcrumbs over here. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you did Nancy! Nice to see you here :)
DeleteMartha, maybe it's time for you to get a horse. You definitely have an affinity for them, and think of all that organic fertilizer!
ReplyDeleteI'd love that, but I don't think my neighbours would like a horse in my urban backyard! But if we decide to move into the country area later on, I will definitely consider it!
