Them’s Fighting Words

Bey Heiric was having a talk with another stallion. I love this picture.

Watching a train go by. (02-02-08; 14 sec.s) This and all other videos here require QuickTime.

“I don’t like you” in horse language. (14 sec.s) And here’s Heiric engaging in the same behavior (12-19-07; 1 min 9 sec.s) toward a stallion, with me on Heiric’s back.

Running. (10-11-07; 13 sec.s) Now that’s freedom…and fun…

More running. (10-11-07; 13 sec.s) Feel the power. I forget if I was bareback in the last two videos…

Memories From Last Week

Riding Bareback

Nice that the evil horseflies are gone, that they have finished their one-month cycle of attacking animals for blood, so I can ride back in the woods again! Last week, the ride after this pictured ride, I went back out in the woods after a two-week absence. I did not want my horse to have to suffer horsefly attacks. They are horrible (see also URI‘s Factsheet): they swarm in groups of 5 or 10 or 25; they cut into animals with knife-like “teeth” instead of sucking blood like mosquitoes; they leave trails of blood a few inches long; they are so bloodthirsty that no amount of flyspray or Deep Woods Off will keep them away. They deserve to die.

But today and Monday I had good two-hour, unmolested rides in the woods. Sunshine, blue sky, green trees, dark shadows, brown earth, my horse, me, and peaceful, pleasant solitude.

Looking at some friends.

Can you tell Heiric is being ridden bitless, halter only?

Eyes are a window to the soul. And in those eyes I see the world. I see blue skies, I see heaven and earth.

Heiric the Red.

Here you can tell I’m riding bareback? That’s my jeans — and no saddle — that you see bottom center of the picture.

As Do Cats, So Also Do Dogs

After sending to some friends a link to the cat painting I posted, I received a similar picture from a friend. The cat picture had reminded my friend of a picture he had taken of his neighbor’s dogs. Here is his picture:
