I almost live next door to the stables at the nearby farm. They haave their own horses, but also take in other horses.
There is also a pony which is used for children’s rides.
My favourite horse was this one. The owner of the stables told ne they bought him from Ireland, one of the old types of horse with the lovely fur on the feet. This was a few years ago, and he was then quite old for a horse. Unfortunately he is no longer, but I have some photos to remember him,
There is always something to see at the stables. I cannot ride, although once had a lesson. My problem was getting on and off the horse. They are quite high. Also the warmth from their body disturbed me a little, they were a living animal.
RDP Monday: Stable
The children’s horse looks so cute with those little pink socks.

He probably had cold hooves

I love the Irish gypsy horse, too. There are two living on a ranch between here and the Refuge and I feel so good when I see them.

Our brewery in London had them for pulling the beer wagons. I remember them as a kid before they began to use lorries.
