Brigita's Blog: Wordless Wednesday - Snack Time!

Nice picture! Beautiful horse & the surroundings look just like an area I'd love to live in!

Brigita if your horse is anything like ours every waking moment is snack time! Great looking horse you have!!

Hi Brigita,

Love the picture and my girl is just the same everything stops for snacks.

Dan:

That horse is my Thoroughbred, Eddie.  And, yes, it is a gorgeous area that he is boarded at.

Brigita

Thanks, Dan!

Unfortunately, the only time he gets grass here is when I hand graze him.  But, the owners are working on fencing in a pastured area for the horses.

Brigita - Eddie appears to be a very happy, well adjusted, and lucky horse:-)

Sharon:

I have to say that Eddie does not snack when he has his bridle on.  He knows a bridle means work.

Brigita

Myrl:

He certainly is.  He enjoys my company.  When I come to the barn and he sees me, he comes right up to me.  Or, do you think it's because he knows he will be getting grass?

Brigita - we have three pretty boys, Two that we adopted from the US Park service ... they were police horses in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, and a third who is a genuine pleasure and all the family loves to ride him!  They are great!

Lisa:

Sounds like you got 3 great horses!  :-)

My daughter's pony, Jetty, is in heaven when we let him graze the fresh green grass. :) 

The rest of the time we have to keep in in the starvation paddock, he is prone to laminitis. :(

Jen:

Ponies ten to be that way.  Thoroughbreds are the opposite.  They just can't get enough to gain weight.  I have yet to see a fat Thoroughbred.

Hi Brigita,

Eddie is one beautiful horse!  Loved the photo & the surroundings.  Thank you so much for sharing.

Eddie sure is a handsome guy!  Even the mares think so!
