Fun with Extra Friendly Horses

I'm in love with Albert, son of Gilbert. Best of all, Albert's in love with me. I'll explain in a minute.

Jane's farm is so much fun. Here's a photo of Buddy with Jane's six-month-old colt, Albert, from our November visit.

We went out there Saturday to look at a horse that Lily's friend may lease for the summer (and keep here so they can ride together). All of Jane's horses were excessively friendly -- except, of course the one Lily's friend may lease. I would love to show you a good photo of Albert, who's now a yearling, but he was far too friendly to photograph. Or rather, you couldn't get far enough away from him to take his picture. He was like a cat when you're trying to read the newspaper. Wherever you are, that's where he had to be. You want to look at the miniature donkeys? Too bad. Albert's going to stand between you and them. You want to walk across the pasture? You're not going by yourself, not as long as Albert's on the job.

I wanted to bring him home. He didn't allow you to pay attention to anyone but him. Wherever we went, he went, too. We stayed there and scratched and massaged him for about an hour. In return, he offered us lots of love. He was still sorry to see us go. If I ever need to feel loved, I know where to go. Click on the photos to enlarge (except the one of me, which I only include because that is just the funniest horse face -- the one with the blaze). Please notice both the people's and Albert's expressions, especially his eyes and lower lip in the last photo of him.

And then, there was the friendly mini-jackass who stole my camera case. (He was formerly named "Bill" and his mate was named "Hillary," but Jane changed their names when she got them.)

What a wonderful horse, I love that he is so friendly with people. He seems like a very happy fellow and he must feel his job is to make everyone else happy. Smiles all around when this guy is in the area.I love the pictures and the mini is adorable too!

Oh Gosh!!! That little Long Ear fellow is tooooo cute!!! (I got a "thing" for long ears...)

Albert is a pill! He is quite the handsome man there. Cant wait to see what he looks like when he grows up more.

There sure is something amazing about the affection passed from horse to human. Some of them- like Albert it seems- are Masters at it, and leave you feeling like You Are The Only Person In His Universe. Talk about a rush! LOL

Glad you put up so many great pics Anne, and that you were able to have such a great time there!

Really, really cute pictures. I can see that Albert loves you best. Of course, I went straight to your picture since I wasn't supposed to.

Albert and the mini-jackasses are for sale. I want them all.

mini jackasses steal your camera -- dogs in France steal your pocketbook.....
a pattern?

Absolutely love those photos! You got one big hug there, Anne ... love at first sight, I'd say.

And that little rascal with the long ears, well, what can I say other than ... just too cute!
