Miniature Horse Play

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:50:14 +0000

Take a windy, cool day, one stallion in his prime and a gelding who’s just about 2 years old; what do you get? Some serious rough housing in the name of fun! It’s nice that they are both miniature horses, otherwise the the magnitude of their thrashing around would have been far more intense. It’s great for Muffin to be able to play with someone in his own species, rather than always with a dog. He’s learning horse manners and all about hierarchy. He may be bigger than Fella, but he’s definitely not the boss! Which is a good thing.

The light was gorgeous towards the end of the day yesterday and the boys were feisty.

Gotta love those facial expressions!

Time Out!

Cody just couldn’t figure these two out. He just stood there, quietly, and watched in awe!

“Who’s the Man! I may be little but I got the moves!” Cody’s like I’m outta here!

Not you again!!

What makes me laugh? {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

Inspired once again by a post from The Shutter Sisters.

If I’m ever in a down mood or when I’m feeling uninspired, all I have to do is usher my two dogs outside to the pasture and hang out with my them and my two horses and 11 hens. It really helps that one of the horses thinks he’s a dog. Well, I suppose he can’t help it, being a pint sized miniature horse! He always initiates play when we are out in the pasture.

He and one of my dogs, Cody, especially love to play together. They chase and play tug-o-war. The images below are from two days ago, plus I included some from last winter that I think really demonstrate lightheartedness. Needless to say, I am very entertained by their antics. In between shots I engage in the play, too!

This one just makes me smile.

Yikes!!

Dressing up for Valentines Day!

Feel the love. How can I not smile!

My Muffin Man – {Maine Lifestyle Photographer}

My miniature horse, Muffin, is so photogenic and he seems to love the camera, too. Couple that with incredible morning light, and the results are quite pleasing. I hope all who are in the Northeast are staying as warm as possible. Minus 6 due to a wind chill factor is on the extreme end of winter. And it’s NOT even winter yet!

Stones Edge Farm Open Farm Day – July 26, 2009

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:41:58 +0000

The whole week the weather forecast kept saying that Sunday would be the better of the two days for the weekend. The reality is that the sun only vaguely appeared for maybe 5 minutes, which meant the rest of the day was overcast, foggy and showery with some occasional down pours. Open Farm Day still happened and although the turnout wasn’t as numerous as years past, we still had fun. My favorite part was watching all the children interact with the animals. There were LOTS of goats meandering around, three Bernese Mountain Dogs, a couple of baby turkeys, a small flock of baby chicks, a few larger hens, Gumdrop – a sweet miniature horse, and 5 other horses.

The pictures below should give you a little taste of the day. Hopefully next year many more of you will find yourselves there to experience it first hand.

This little girl, who came properly dressed for the warm rain, was such a joy to watch as she ran with the goats!

Those eyes and angelic smile is enough to melt any heart. . .

Sweet bunny from Archway Rabbitry. The next two images of rabbits are also from Archway Rabbitry.

Lots of love & kisses at the farm!

A very content little baby goat, who was carried around most of the day.

One of the baby chicks.

Such delight! Look at the ears on that chick!!

Sharing the love . . .

Gumdrop is shopping!

Although Bear is a big boy, I have learned that Bernese Mountain Dogs are extremely gentle and calm.

Sorry, I just can’t resist – she’s too cute!!
