Equestrian Journey: Apples!!!!

Apples!!!!

Note To Donkey Lovers: Yes! Led Zeppelin did get apples too. It was just a little crowded at the gate for getting pictures and he chose to keep his distance. :D I promise to get pictures of our long eared friend next time.

I love those eager faces!

My parents have apple trees on their property from when I was a kid (can't remember how long it's been) and they get waaaaaay more apples than they could ever eat so they sent a bunch to me for the horses (ones that had gotten bruised or chewed on a bit by the bugs). They sent over TWENTY FIVE POUNDS of apples!!!!!!!!! My equine family members are in heaven lol! Don't worry though we're monitoring intake (they only get a couple every few days) since they can be high in sugar. :) Enjoy the pictures of my cute boys!

Could they possibly be any cuter??

Chrome stole his whole apple from my hubby and then had to figure out how to bite it in half on his own. It was so adorable!

Faran's learning to smile for his!! So cute!!!

You might want to half them? My friends horse swallowed a whole apple and it got stuck! They had to go to Michigan State to have it removed. Ever since that story I half them just to be extra safe:) But have fun and I love the story!!!!

If you're not a very avid reader but would still like to follow Chrome's progress be sure to check out his Monthly Progress Reports on the nineteenth of every month. You can also read more about him on the About Chrome page.

Name: Led Zeppelin
Nicknames: Zep
Sire: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Dam: Unknown (Standard Donkey)
Breed: Standard Donkey
DOB: 2007
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Color: Gray (what do you call the donkey color??)

Date Aquired: My dad rescued/bought him shortly before I brought Chrome home, but he gave him to us on 1-18-10.

Likes: Treats, forehead scratches, his buddies and braying early in the morning.
Dislikes: Being handled at all (his first three years were spent in someone's backyard never being touched), sudden movements and sometimes his bratty pasture mate Chrome. :D

I'm in my thirties, live in the USA and I love horses (obviously). I've been obsessed with Friesians (that's Chrome's purebred Friesian sire in the above picture) for over ten years. I started riding horses when I was five and always had horses from then until 2007 when I found myself without one. I wanted a Friesian, but the budget wouldn't allow for it so I started looking at crosses. I found Chrome (Friesian/Arabian) and I haven't regretted it for a second. I bought him as a five month old weanling in 2009 and I've done all of his training myself. The blog is about our continued journey together as I attempt to make him my dream all around horse who can do anything from dressage, competitive trail riding, driving, mounted archery, working equitation and anything else we want to try. He's still very green and we obviously have a long way to go, but you're welcome to follow along on our journey. I also love dogs, art, photography, writing, reading, fishing, biking, camping, archery and many other things. You can learn more about me on my About Me page, my Equestrian Bucket List page and my FAQ page.
