Fat ‘n’ Happy Mamas

When Zach kindly took me out of my winter-weather induced cabin fever the other day, I half-way hoped there’d be some colts on the ground when we got there. We didn’t have any colts yet, but we found some fat, happy, mares that are certainly looking like they’re ready to start having babies any moment. We had to drive through the whole pasture before we found the first package of them.

Sun on their backs, and clouds in the sky, reflected in the shadows in the pasture across the bay:

It’s peaceful right?

This mare belongs to the cowboy’s son, Ty. Her name is Lilo.

After we visited the first group of mares, we searched for another 10 minutes or so before we found the other set of mares.

    You mares live in a beautiful part of the world with lots of gorgeous pasture they are very lucky. Our mares have only some left over winter pasture with lots of weeds as we wait for some spring rain to get our Bermuda going in Nth Texas!
