Sprin won't officially be here in our mountains until after May. We can get snow, freezing temps and hail storms until June.<BR/>And we won't see much green grass until our summer monsoons. <BR/>But I do love our sunny days and blue skies basically all year round. I suppose it's a trade-off.<BR/><BR/>I think Ladde is gorgeous. He was like the ugly duckling that turned into the tall handsome prince.<BR/><BR/>Will you give the birthday boy a special treat on his birthday?<BR/><BR/>My mare will turn 16 on April 18th. I'd like to do something special for her then. Got any ideas?<BR/><BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-13832803470450418062009-02-21T12:47:00.000-08:002009-02-21T12:47:00.000-08:00I love your Ladde story!

Sienna (the pony) was born at my parents farm, and Amber leased Bo for six years about five years ago. She just got him back last April, when his original owner called and said she was moving to Colorado.<BR/><BR/>Waska is Amber's 1/2 Arab, 1/2 Saddlebred gelding (NSH), but as I mentioned, I picked both him and Bo out. So...they are all technically her horses, but I primarilay ride Bo, and pay for part of his feed bill and farrier stuff.<BR/> <BR/>I have entire posts that are devoted to this topic, and if you want, I can give you their location. :)<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the confusion!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682815635702122191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-30108114917077020122009-02-19T17:53:00.000-08:002009-02-19T17:53:00.000-08:00WOW, Flowers, somewhere under the 170 inches of sn...WOW, Flowers, somewhere under the 170 inches of snow we have gotten so far are shoots waiting to "Spring" forth, we are in our second day of a snow storm, my son lives in Portland, OR. and teases me about the difference in weather,<BR/><BR/>enjoyed the visit,<BR/><BR/>WoodyWoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133152472401045582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-68107190305479427182009-02-19T13:37:00.000-08:002009-02-19T13:37:00.000-08:00I think blogger ate my comment unless you have an ...I think blogger ate my comment unless you have an approval 1st setting. <BR/>Wow, he's a big boy & beautiful, I love Appy's.

When he was 3 years old and I was just starting to ride him, I could still mount him without an aid. At that time he was right at 17 hh and now I'm older and have to put him in a ditch or climb on a tree stump if in the woods or use my mounting block. I have not measured his height since he was about 4 - if he's grown, I don't want to know!<BR/>So...at last measurement he was a true 17.0 hh and weighs in around probably 1400 ish?C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-49250504719196981592009-02-19T01:47:00.000-08:002009-02-19T01:47:00.000-08:00nice pictures,and great tale of Laddes birth,I lov...nice pictures,and great tale of Laddes birth,I love him,he is a handsome boy!
