- http://www.myspace.com/horsesnaturally
Lifelong love of horses. I have 3 horses - a 26 y/o Quarter gelding, a 20 y/o Arabian gelding, and an 8 y/o Half-Arab Pinto mare. Had many horses over the years and appreciate a good horse whatever the breed. My dream is to someday own an Andalusian, they're amazing creatures. I've met my best friends thru horses. I also take care of a small boarding stable of 2 Quarter horses, 2 Paint horses and 5 Paso Finos.

It’s said that when God closes a door another opens. Just 3 months ago I took on the commitment of a fourth horse. I wasn’t sure why I agreed to it so easily. My head told me I couldn’t afford to care for one more. But, I’ve learned through the years to trust my instincts. I knew… Continue

Winter Ice in Illinois!
Lilly skating on the icy driveway! She's the only one able to get up the driveway right now. I don't dare try to drive down it, I know I won't be able to get back up the the hill! Good thing I have a little vacation time available, because I'm not going anywhere! Wish I had my Chri… Continue

A Patch of Hope!
A lot of us are experiencing the effects of an economy gone nuts. People losing their homes, the cost of gas and food affecting us all. The price of grain, hay, dog food, cat food, etc. has also risen. It’s become harder to just to cover our basic survival costs, let alone keep and fe… Continue

WARNING…Internet Can Be Hazardous To Your Health…OR…Good friends don’t let you do stupid things…alone! Part 3
The End of the Beginning!
Gina tagged me to tell the story of how I came to own my half-arab pinto mare Tashaw – this is part 3 and the last (I promise!) chapter of the story.
Is this really happening? Are we really going to do this? I never purchased a horse through the… Continue

After the less than satisfactory road trip to Wisconsin and enough common sense to know I didn’t need another horse, why did I continue to obsess over this Arabia… Continue

Rebecca said… - Hey there Dixie!!
I asked my mum about the shaving of the tails in the andalusian its to enhance the shape of the rear when showing and also for ease of covering.

- Hey Dixie, The shaving of the manes and tails is more of what the spainards do, although there are people over there that do it its not everyones cup of tea. I personally think our mares look better without their manes and the tops of their tails shaved. We do have one mare that has a full length mane and tail but its a lot of work and she was allowed to grow it because we are selling her and people over here who don't know the tradiitions of the spanish horse can think it doesn't look right.
The spanairds do it as it is easier for them, if you think some studs have over a 500 herd of just mares it is easier if they have them all hogged - even though they are not actually hogged they are shaped to emphasise the shape of the mares necks. I'm not actually sure why they shave the tops of the tails - i'll have to find one of the articles in the mags which tells you .... hmmm i'll get back to you on that one. So it is an awful lot easier for them to be hogged.

Pretty paint! He doesn't look like a baby though. LOL
This has been a really busy month at the farm. Last week we had a wonderful time with family here from South Carolina for whitetail deer season. This week my sister (aka ponygal) and her husband are here for Thanksgiving and enjoying the farm lif...
Looks like fun!
I love this photograph! I like the way the lights plays through his mane.
Good for you! I'm sure you will be good at it and will enjoy your time training. If you get a chance, take some pictures and post for us. I like to take pics before I start them and then after they have been in training awhile. I am amazed at how ...
