Epic sky!

This evening when I went to give the ponies dinner the sun slipped below the banks of dark, thundery clouds and did some serious showing off.


Ponies Autumn and Barnaby pose for just long enough to take their picture.

Small looks wistfully into the sunset. Oh how the camera can lie. Small was actually wondering what on earth I was doing and why I hadn't brought his dinner yet.

Filly lives on our yard and she is one of the sweetest and prettiest horses you could ever hope to meet. I've got a real soft spot for her.

Filly in profile. I wish she didn't have a halter on, but unfortunately she prefers showing off her elegant paces over being caught, particularly when her owner's other half is responsible for bringing her in at night...

Oh, also I notice that neither sleepsy_mouse or I has posted any of these pictures from a ride out last weekend:


Classic English village, anyone?

Riding out onto the common.

I was off to cut a corner to try and get some cantering pictures from in front of them rather than my usual pictures of Small vanishing into the distance so I took the opportunity to get a picture giving more sense of scale.

There aren't many places in this part of England that offer this kind of space for riding out on. I know that some of you have whole mountain ranges to yourselves, but for a crowded corner of our crowded island this is doing pretty well...

It was just amazing. Much better than this evening which was strongly oriented towards torrential downpour.
