Proud and pretty, mama waits for her baby…
The baby is getting halter training and seems to be doing well…
Together they go grazing on sweet late summer Michigan grass, never far apart…
There is a joy being around horses that is hard to describe. Spiritual, peaceful, and very good for the soul. Look in a horse’s eye and one can feel power and trust.

Lovely shots of these beautiful animals.
Thanks Pat.
Beautiful photos of some truly beautiful animals.
‘ello. Thank you.
Hi ya. *smiles* You’re welcome
I agree with your assessment of these magnificent animals and you seem to have captured the moment perfectly.
Thank you LuAnn
A joy for the eye.
Indeed. Thank you.
Nice post. As I was out walking getting still more shots of Michigan fall color on this sunny morning, I was thinking that I need to get over and take some pictures of my friend’s horses. There is also a boarding farm down the road that I want to get to. Yesterday I saw she is boarding a pony. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you and good shooting.
What beautiful horses and photos! I also enjoy the peaceful feeling of being in the presence of horses – they have a quiet confidence that is contagious. And thanks for sharing a piece of Michigan that many don’t know about.
Quid pro quo
Very nice indeed. I particularly like your last shot Mike. Nothing nicer in the horse world than a mare and her foul. Beautiful!
Thank you my English friend.
Lovely photos. I enjoy being around horses, too. They have a spiritual essence that touches my heart. Thank you, Mike. Blessings.
We feel the same stuff Lizziejoy. Thank you.
So sweet.
So nice
The last two sentences in your post – everything is said
Well done Mike 
Thank you Frauke. You would know, for sure. Love to Shaman.
Shaman is pretty silly those days, there must be horse eating monsters everywhere in the arena
A silly horse is much better than a sad horse.
True. But try to stay on a silly horse that spooks
That I do not have the courage for….
So beautiful, Mike. Something healing about being around horses. Thanks for sharing these.
My pleasure. Thank you.
Really lovely photos, I miss being around horses but thankfully my Mum always plans a horse-related excursion when I go home for a visit.
I am guessing that this comment got past me somehow, as it appears I never responded to it. Accept my apologies and thank you for the sweet comment.
You’re welcome! Apology accepted although not necessary, life gets busy which I understand completely
How did I ever miss this Pony Post? Lovely horsey photos and makes me miss my horse as I’ve been busy being a hostess the past two weeks. BTW, how’s your old donkey friend?
I did see my donkey friend recently and he is pretty much the same, kind of spaced out, slow, but no worse then last we talked.
Thanks, eh.
