Another blogger was asking, "What makes you smile?"
Well Buttons, among other things, reading the posts of my blog friends often make me smile . Seeing and chatting with friends and family, and of course the spotty crew here. Just a few more pics from the last week or so
The littlest Cowgirl (Sprite)and her momma
She looks so sweet and peaceful , but you should see that little dolly when she is grumpy! tiny little ears pinned at poor Tango , teeth showing , gonna give the big boys what for and steal their grain! I guess I should get after her for it ,but she is so darn cute! I will just let her siblings sort her out
Maks' opinion of the water spray will the tank is filling
Winston is really not sure he wants to let Maks get any closer , he was snacking on some crunch and sweet feed , he did give in and let Maks have it without more than a grumble.
Made me think of the little song my dad would sing when I was a kid
Mares eat oats
and
doe's eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
a kid'll eat ivy to wouldn't you ?
Except in my head it went
Mares eat oats
and doe's eat oats and so do golden retrievers ... lol
such a happy little ditty!
Now that is probably stuck in your head lol
Smarty pants of the day , Miss Sprite ! figured out where the good were at!
Today I went off to the tack sale in Stony Plain, bumped into a few friends (which is whats its all about), I didn't really need anything ,other than I wanted to get a 1/2 bale slow feeder net from my friends at
Eco Nets . I had been telling them how much Phoenix seems to like his. And I did promise pictures of my happy "Zen Pony" at his net. Well that was easier said than done since said pony is a HAM! and very social, I went in to take pics and there he was ,in my face, I tried to shoo him off with some twine
no luck, then the net I use to scoop leaves out of his tank,
not so much terrified
Finally he gave in and posed where I wanted him
Happy boy, he is so relaxed , and peaceful with his net and happy horses make for a happy me
Stay safe everyone

Thanks for posting that song- it brought back memories, especially for Ted as his mom used to sing it.
Winston is such a good boy, but I don't thinks Maks was going to take no for an answer!
That is the same hay net I have. It holds exactly one half of a bale. Killian went through his entire half a bale in 2 hours.
Aw shucks that song did make me nostalgic. My mom use to sing that to me a lot when I was a kid then I would sing it all day ~ and yes now it will be stuck in my head , but I like it !!
Love you ZEN pony .
Took my mare out for a cart ride this weekend ... always love that.
Thanks for the share ... keep smiling :)
Never heard that song, peppy tune. Phoenix is sooo adorable!!
I had a couple of those nets. Notice the word Had. My TB mare would grab it and shake everything out of it. The hay was all over the ground and GONE in no time. One thing that works great on them is a snap on the string. Wrap it around the top rail a time or two and snap it to the bottom of the net- it stays up out of harms way and pawing hooves. No knots means it goes up and comes down in a snap. No pun intended.
