In a state of misery w/o my Bella
I just went in my backyard and took this pic I wish I could have gotten closer, but it's a private horse farm with expensive horses and they don't want you anywhere near it! It's so nice to be able to look outside and see the horses running and grazing, they are not out there very often!

You also have Horses don't you? My First Hubby & I raised Throughbred and Raced them. We had 22 at home at one time.. I loved it while I did it, but do not beleive I would choose it again, "The Sport Of Kings" Oh so true

That would be wild but I would have to wear all black like a Ninja
There is a road on the other side of the paddock that the horse's are in and they go by several times a night to check on the horses!

I don't know how many people will find this interesting, but this was pretty cool...



This was shot by one of our Junior teams at the National Matches last year. This stage is 300-yard, rapid fire, (prone position, 10 shots in 70 seconds), iron (open) sights (no scope). They both shot cleans (100 points, all in the 10 & X ring). They were the only team to clean that stage of fire that day, which is pretty impressive.
BTW, there are 20 shot holes in that target.

Oh the foals are Great fun
I raised about 12 of them they love to run up to you and try and hug you with those long skinny front legs

We broke all our own and DH was a Trainer, I loved to take care of them I learned so much we did it for about 12 years, When DH Passed I got rid of all of them I couldn't do it alone. We Had 6 1/2 Acres up in Wine Country in Temecula Valley California..I have a Great Love for the Horses, DH was a Huge racing fan, He thought they could all run and I used to tell him Of course they can but it matters how fast and how far
