Long Overdue

I took a few videos and photos before I went home for Thanksgiving break and haven't gotten around to posting them yet. Tally was very muddy (and apparently *still* is just as messy, according from an email I received today from the barn owner). I'm glad to hear she's enjoying being a real horse!

It sure was a windy day when I took the videos. See her new blanket? It looks even better with the mud splotches!

I also took a photo when I was home of a few thoroughbred babies out in the pasture at a local ranch. One of them looked so much like Tally, I just had to capture it on my camera. They were so adorable. 

This one just cracks me up!

See that little star and snip?

Chilly Day!

I have also 'unlisted' my videos on YoutTube for privacy. They still exist, but are no longer public. I am in the process of updating the links on each page so that everyone can still see them!

Tally and Lady (With Videos and Pics!)

I went to see Tally this morning and when I drove into the barn, she was happily turned out with her friend,  Lady. I had to take her out for a few minutes to try on her "new wardrobe", two new beautiful hunter green blankets from SmartPak. It was really cute because when I took Tally out, Lady came running up the fence (from the other side of the pasture) and whinnied for her! So precious. Tally on the other hand, seemed fine being away from Lady, but also seemed happy when I put her back out.  I also might add that she looked beeeautiful in her new blankets!
I was able to take a few photos and get some videos of them running around (look out Lynyrd!)
Tally is just too amazing for words- I love this mare! (Links to videos below pics!)

So shiny!

New Turnout Buddy!

I wish I had my camera yesterday because Tally got turned out in the big paddock with a new friend!
She just seemed so happy to be outside in the sunny weather-- especially because the day before was freezing cold. I know I've mentioned before that she was a little nervous and often paced the fence when she was out alone, so I knew I'd have to find her a turnout buddy.
Well, I think we found the perfect companion...a very sweet (but occasionally firm) chestnut quarter horse mare named Lady.
Tally was so cute when we first put her out with Lady because she was prancing around and bucking and kicking up her heels. Once she settled down, they both started grazing peacefully and the rest is history.
I only heard one squeal during the two hours that I stood out there watching them. Not too bad for two mares!
Next time I'll need to bring my camera because they are just too sweet together.
Tally is really enjoying her time off-- lots of rolling in the dirt, grazing and peppermints. As one of the ladies at the barn told me just the other night, "that's going to be one spoiled horse." :)
