Translation: How many horses do you have? Well golly, since you asked, I'll tell you about them.
William, the darker horse, to the right, started his career on the Thoroughbred race course. His registered name is "Frail Boy," really. Now, who would ever bet on a frail boy. As it turned out he wasn't frail, but neither was he fast, so his next gig was in the show ring, jumping fancy fences with flowers. He was then known as "Well Done," a fitting name, as he did very well on the show circuit. All was going along pretty smoothly for WD until his owner ran off with her boyfriend leaving her elderly mother with horses, dogs, and overdue bills. He eventually made it to our barn with the idea of being Hilarie's fancy show horse. She rode him a little and had some fun with him. Most recently "William" is the prince of the pasture, a retired elder gent who eats and poops for a living.
Yorkie, the lighter horse on the left, is a Morgan. He was a school horse, and later a lady's pleasure mount. He belongs to the mother of one of Hilarie's high school friends. Yorkie boards with us and was brought in to be William's companion after we sold some of the other horses from our past. He too enjoys the life of a pampered retiree.
The dogs in the picture are Chloe, our 9 mo. black lab and Ely our 11 yr. yellow lab. We also have 3 barn kitties; Kyle, Eddie, and Maggie.
