Nothing new is going on with the horses, so I'll just share a bunch of random pictures.  :)

 This is the first apple he's had since we learned he had laminitis.

He really shouldn't have them...

 ... it's so hard to say no though!

 Such a soft expression.

 King of side eye!

 Chrome watching hubby dig up dirt and grass samples to get tested.

 He was so curious about the shovel and bucket, 

but the flies were driving him crazy so he stayed near me.

 More side eye!  So cute!

 I noticed Rocky dropped his apple, so I gave it to him.  

Chrome heard him chewing and gave him this look.

Rocky is not locked up by the way.  He just likes to stand in that shady spot in the round pen.  The round pen is left open.

 Zep was curious and came to see what I was doing.

Love his mohawk!

 Then Rocky got curious why I was kneeling down and taking pictures, so he came to see me.

 Then made a bunch of silly faces!

 New favorite Rocky picture!!

 So silly!

 Zep looks so handsome in his summer coat.

 A profile shot.

 Some artsy shots showing his beautiful markings.

 Love his barring.

 As well as his shoulder cross.

 I kind of like how the leaves got in the way.  :)

 Finally Rocky couldn't take it anymore and chased Chrome out of the shade.

 They just had to see what hubby was doing with that shovel and bucket.

 More side eye.  :)

 What is this bucket??

 Can I eat it?

 Will it eat me??  Chrome was being a dork.

 I love black and white photos of Chrome!

 Then Zep and his posse followed.  

Hubby said to imagine the goats wearing numerous, heavy gold chains and necklaces around their necks..... gangsta goats!

 Another black and white.  Love this!  Aren't brown goat's horns impressive??

 Van Gogh's ear looks much better.  Still can't ride though.

 The goats have stripped these saplings of leaves.  Good boys!!

 Donkey silhouette!!  Love!!!

 Nose tickles!

 So handsome! 

I wish his summer coat lasted longer, but it seems like he barely finishes shedding before he starts growing in a new one!  That's one reason I wanted to get all of these pictures.

 He loves his peppermint scented Jolly ball!  New favorite Zep picture!

 Then Rocky was curious about it.

 When Rocky went back to grazing, Zep started nibbling on him.  Cute!

 Finally my boy going for a swim to cool off while Rocky grazes nearby.

Sorry for the picture overload! I had no idea there were that many until I'd already started uploading them hehe.  I hope you enjoyed them!

Hay Excitement

Rocky is so cute.  He was walking toward me and next thing I know...

...he plastered his nose to the camera hehe.

We put out a new bale of hay (outside since the weather seems to be improving) and Chrome was feeling good.  He was galloping around, bucking, jumping, just being nuts.  He always gets a little wound up when we get hay because I won't let him into the area where the hay is store (pallets, bricks, holes, wire, too many dangers) so I have to chase him out of the round pen when I'm opening gates for hubby to drive the tractor through.  He uses that as an excuse to goof off.  Rocky got into the fun some too!  It was so nice seeing him galloping and bucking, but I'm worried he might have over done it.  By the time I got hubby's phone to take videos Rocky was a little less forward.  I so wish I'd had the phone when they first started playing around because Rocky did a huge, floating, gorgeous trot that looked like anything but a Quarter horse trot hehe.

Here is the video.  Sorry it's so long and shaky.  I got stung by a wasp on my right hand and it was too swollen to use so I took all of the video with my left hand.  It shows them playing bitey face, bucking, following the tractor, etc.

Direct link.

Here are some random pictures I got.

 Looks like he's playing, but he was just scratching (biting) his chest.

 Rocky and Zep at the hay bale.  Hubby was getting 

the hay ring with the tractor while they ate.

 Chrome was grazing because he thought I didn't want him by 

the hay bale lol.  I had to shoo him in that direction.

 A picture of my whole herd!!  I love it!

 Poor itchy boy.

 Two someones are peeking at me hehe.

 Sweaty Chrome!!  He kept his braid in overnight.  

He rubbed it some, but it's fine.  The ear looks okay.  Can't wait for it to heal up.

 Eating together like good boys!!

We had to put wire over the hay ring to keep the goats out of the hay, but we pull it down so Zep and the goats can still reach some.

Here's my swollen hand.  It got way worse before it got better, but I'm now using it to type (a little painful, but not bad) so yay!  Now it's time to succumb to the Benadryl.  Night!!
