Grazing Horses

Horse and Buggy
Sometimes opportunities for photographs come to you. With the Spring weather Sunday, my neighbors were out for a late afternoon ride past my house in their Amish-built buggy. Very fuel efficient.

Farrier
This morning our farrier (a person that shoes horses) Charlie Stone came by and shod our 28 year old mustang horse Rienzi. Charlie has been shoeing Rienzi since my wife adopted her from the U S Bureau of Land Management some 27 years ago. Charlie’s care is one reason Rienzi’s feet are in such good shape still. That and the fact that she has never worked a day in her life.

Friday from the Files

Today’s image is an old film shot from a horse training track in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Many race horses are wintered over in the Pinehurst area so they can train on the sandy ground. Easier on the legs I understand.
