It was a very merry Christmas...!

I hope all of you had as wonderful a Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate around this time of the year) as I did. The fiancee and I had to take care of the horses (figures those darn animals would have to eat EVERY single day of the year!) so we couldn't really go anywhere, but we enjoyed handing out extra carrots and peppermint sticks. Of course Darwin and Poppy were the only two horses who didn't want their peppermint sticks. My horses are weird. The dogs loved unwrapping their presents from the dollar store. Who says a $1 plastic hotdog can't buy happiness? On a related note I looked at all of the pictures entered in the Christmas Photo Contest (thank you thank you thank you!) and have posted the winners below:

Christmas Photo Contest

Christmas is right around the corner! Two days, to be exact. In honor of this once a year oh-so-festive holiday, the BM Blog is hosting a contest to see who has the cutest Christmas and/or winter themed picture of their animal(s). It can be a horse, dog, cat, bird, or flying reindeer for all I care. Post a working link in the comments (limit three per person) and first, second, and third place will be announced on Christmas day! In the meantime, enjoy some winter themed pictures of my goof balls from last year.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Picture day! As you know (if you read this blog) I own two horses, an eight year old bay thoroughbred named Darwin and a seven year old belgian x halflinger named Poppy. This is a picture of them I took last week. They are grazing in their new field at their new barn, happily in love and oblivious to my attempts to get them to raise their heads and take a proper picture.




Have a picture of your horse(s) you would like to share? Post a (working) URL in the comments and I'll post it!
