Animals
Ordinarily when two beings are as close as my Littles are, I would say they are joined at the hip. However, in the case of Red and Ollie...they are most often joined at the lips!
These two adore each other and spend a good deal of the day playing. They nibble at each other's faces and chase each other for hours on end (that is when they aren't eating!)
I try to let these little guys out in the dry lot for a portion of the day so that they can take a break from eating. To quote Becky: "Mini's get fat breathing air!". I try hard to never over-feed these wee horses. Once the weather turns a bit colder, they will have hay available all of the time, but for now a wee bit of a "diet" is being followed. But even with that you can see that Red still sports a rather wide belly. Ollie, on the other hand, seems to stay a little slimmer....he is just smaller all over. So with nothing to eat, they turn to torturing each other to pass the time.
Oh, and by the way...Bobby loves the Littles....especially Red. He follows me into the pasture each afternoon to bring the Littles in for supper. Most days Red hangs on to the end of Bobby's tail and follows him in. Once again, those inter-species relationships just amaze me!

What do you do when you've spent too much time indoors? You bundle up and go out to visit the animals.After all... if they have to stay outside in this weather,then I should certainly be able to spend a little extra time with them.It only seems...

Each afternoon the Littles and the Bigs spend some time grazing in our pastures. During the summer months, they spend that time in the lower pasture in front of the barn. This pasture is adjacent to the dry lots and easily accessiblethrough...

I have been hesitant to put the "Bigs" and the "Littles"together in the same pasture to graze...fearing for the safety of my tiny horses. That is until the other day, when I took the Bigs to the upper pasture and heard the cries ofthe Littles as...

Yesterday afternoon I ran to town to do some Christmas shopping. I left the Littles in the front pasture for the afternoon, as the weather was cold and cloudy. Sometime while I was in town, however, it started to rain. This is what I came home to......"Hey...

The "littles" , as I call them, are getting along with each other quite well. Actually, they love, love, love each other! They are spending a good part of the day in the pasture beside the "bigs". Sadly, the "bigs" are both on a weightloss program...they...

So with nothing to eat, they turn to torturing each other to pass the time. So cute....if you could watch these two for just a few moments, you would surely fall in love with them. I have, that's for sure!
