Hmm...Really?

 As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are thinking about smiling and laughter in difficult times!  We are always AG, but this month our optional twist is 'Share a Smile/Laugh'!

I thought it would be fun to do another horse project since they keep me laughing...when I'm not crying, yelling, or just simply exasperated with them!  Hahaha

My guys are a handful sometimes and keep me on my toes!  They can be so gentle and kind and then turn into cartoon horses at the slightest provocation! 

 This is Thunder and he is wise beyond his years.  He has a way of communicating exactly what he is thinking/wanting.  He really is amazing with kids and he was a true star in my therapeutic horsemanship program for 5 years or more!  He took on some difficult kiddos!  

This digi from Hetty Clare really reminds me of Thunder.  He is a QH/Belgium cross and he truly thinks he looks like a Warmblood.  He was quite the jumper in his life before coming to our barn.  Now, he's not built to jump, but he does it and is good!  He'd jump a barn if you point him in that direction!  ;)  

But, back to his looks, he seems to have all the ..... well, let's say 'less desirable' traits of the breeds!  

I always said, "Don't take that horse into an arena with mirrors!  He might figure out the horse is him!"  He pictures himself as a 16 hand, muscular, sleek animal coveted by the grandest of riders.  In reality, he's about 15 hands, rough haired, has HUGE hooves, Roman nose, and a somewhat pointy butt!  

All of that said, he is probably the most loved, spoiled animal out there!  He's been ridden by a wonderful dressage trainer now training horses on the circuit and a top hunter/jumper rider from England.  He's carried children with Down's Syndrome and ASD.  Now at 25 years old or so, he enjoys some retirement and just takes our grand girls around for rides.  He's quite the guy!
