Oooh! I really like this! It has a rural flavour.

Why thank you Emjay! Hard to believe its in the middle of San Antonio, isn't it? Haha! Glad you liked it. :-)

As a bird fan, I love the feather photo!

[this is good]

Great photos, of course blacksmithing is interesting to me! But I don't put shoes on my guys. They are barefoot.

[this is good]

nice western touch

Yeah, you should have seen me out in the fields, turning the feather this way and that way, exploring the play of light, noticing how the colors change, kinda wierd I know but it was really interesting to photograph. Thanks Catalina!

Glad you are in a position to allow them to go barefoot...something else, the photo of Winn? Its really good braidwork, I especially liked the pineapple knot or is it a worked turks head, looks to be a worked head, a hackmore knot,5 bight 3 strand? Did you use polyester? Tho' it seems dacron. Well, its been years since I've braided horse gear, forgotten a lot. And even then, its a forgotten art... But I've noticed all your gear looks nice and very well taken care of. Have a good one goddess!

Thanks, was feeling a bit blue, helps to remind myself somethimes of foundations...Anyway, hope you have a wonderful day :-)

Sorry goddess, hackamore, sorry to misspell it. I took a look at it again, I think its a knot called a fiador knot, or Theodor. Variation of the diamond knot and useful as a bottle knot. Not that anyone cares but...its nice gear :-)

Hmmmmm I am sorry. About the job deal? Or the squirrel who looked like a duck. lol

OK you've got me on the knots...I think you are talking about the green rope halter he has on his head in the photo of him tied to the trailer..right? Not a hackamore...that is more of a riding bridle that you can use instead of a bit. Thanks for the nice complement on my gear!

My boys are bearfoot because it is better for the health of their feet and I don't do real hard riding any more so shoes are necessary.

Me too. It bothers me to be in a bad mood. I try to pull out as quickly as I realize what happening. Altough sometimes it seems as if I want to be mad or angry. Usually that happens only when I wake up to the fact that I've just dumped on somebody else, for no good reason except that I was angry. Maybe my choice...then when I realize what happens, then I start to feel guilty. Bottom line is I try real hard to maintain a level, even disposition. Sorry to ramble....:-)
