Thursday Morning Photos

I've been so busy working with the horses that I haven't been taking many photos, and when I'm riding I'm usually by myself so no photos then either.  But this morning when I was at the barn to fetch Drifter in from his grazing in the far pasture (he's up to an hour now and the other horses are up to two hours; by the time they're turned out together he'll be mostly caught up), I took my camera.  It was fairly foggy, and quite chilly with a bit of wind.

Charisma was skeptical:

Dawn was trying to watch me, but she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open - that's Sugar on the round bale:

Fred, our senior gelding at age 25, was annoyed by Pie's harassment:

Pie goes for one more nip:

Fred played with Pie for a minute - that's Fritz in the "keyhole":

Pie, of course, had to come up and say hi:

When I went out to get Drifter, he greeted me:

By the time we got back to the barn, Dawn was even sleepier - that's Misty in the background:

Pie's head had disappeared into the round bale:

Scout, as usual, was photogenic:

The geldings and mares held a brief conclave - from left to right that's Fred, Misty, Dawn, Fritz and Sugar:

Drifter watched with great interest from his paddock across the aisle:

Pie and Scout were hanging out:

And decided to roughhouse:

There were dueling muzzles across the aisle - first Dawn:

Then Drifter:

Fritz is always friendly:

Drifter was very interested in what I was up to:

And had to come for one last scratch:

If the rain holds off, I'm hoping to get in some more riding this afternoon.
