Some eye candy, Diamond Lazy H style

I figured since I will someday be riding Rio, I could put him on my header...... just for a change. Move over, Beamer, your little boy is growing up.
I reopened the pasture where Rio got injured, but not until I blocked off the area where I think he got hurt. He and the mares enjoyed romping around in the sun- unseasonably warm as it is all across Canada.

He sure is spectacular!

Gussie got out and floated along, 
and had a face off with Belle.

In this photo you can just see what's left of Rio's wound on his left hind. If you can look away from that stout little dun mare for a moment, that is.
She is definitely not stiff in the neck.

A good time was had by all......
including Beamer; I put him in the round pen so that he could see the mares playing. 
He kept an eye on them.

and did a little performing, too. Hold that pose, Beamer!

Ahhh, they're all so beautiful, but that last shot of Beamer is perfect. What a ham! I bet he'd do all kinds of tricks :)

Lookit all the happy ponies! Beamer looks FABULOUS! How do you keep him so shiny with a thick winter coat? You can't even tell he's fuzzy for all that shine! He looks like velvet.

Crystal said...

Wow I was quite suprised to see Rio on the header!! The ponies all look happy to be out running around again.

Linda said...

You're right, that is eye candy! I love all your horses, but Rio is a darling to look at.

Shirley said...

Jenn- he's actually quite dirty! I do blanket him, but he has his winter hair, it's just all laid down sleek.
