My Horse: All Stallion
Them’s Fighting Words
Bey Heiric was having a talk with another stallion. I love this picture.

My Horse (In Video)
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.

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:
