Smoky hinny crosses the bridge

After being turned back by a truck pulling a fishing boat, Smoky hinny makes it across the bridge. The video camera person's horse is tied to the trailer & calling to Smoky, but now that there's no traffic Smoky is not in any hurry to go back to her. Listen to Smoky's hoofbeats & watch his front feet 'paddle'. He is very naturally gaited, & a joy to ride.

Gaited Peruvian Paso Endurance Horse

This great horse is proof that disabilities do not have to limit horse or human; it's all in the spirit.
(No, he's not mine - I just found the video on YouTube & wanted to share it.)

I don't wanna cross that bridge...

Smoky really resisted crossing that bridge. He normally willingly goes wherever he's pointed, but today was unusually hesitant. He has more sense than I.

#6's calf will hopefully solve the problem...


Top picture is of the long awaited calf belonging to poor #6. The calf arrived around 1 pm on Sunday & these pictures were taken around 6 pm. It's hard to see from this angle (bottom pic), but the calf seems to have solved the problem for all teats except the front left. I'm hoping it will take care of that one today!!! According to the feed store manager, this is not an uncommon thing, and calving usually solves it. I'm hoping he's right but plan to keep a close eye on her just in case.
