I think I'd rather be pushed out of the pasture than bitten as I ran...I've heard that the mosquitoes are huge in Alaska and that blood transfusions are commonly needed ~smile~.

Love the grey horse and barn. The fly picture reminds me of the last time I took pictures of horses, I gave my blood to an ant hill and came out of the pasture with about 22 ant bites and some blurry pictures of a horse. What we do for our art!!

Ivan..I know it stinks when you see a zillion lookers and so few posts..but sometimes I just dont know what to say.
The photos are always great...I can say that everytime.

At this site I can at least tell that people are looking even when no comments are left. If I rely on comments only I could not justify the time I am putting into posting.
Thank you for your patronage and kind words,Ivan.

I enjoyed these, being a "horse person" myself. The fourth is my favorite the gray horse with the old barn in the background. Looks like it's been raining.

I found them. They are absolutely BREATHTAKING! I had 77 horses at one time and adored every one of them but one. He was a ....never mind. Name calling is not a habit of mine! LOL! Thanks for showing us these beauties!

This was my stallion for years. Champion bred, stood 16.3 hands and had such a long neck, he could stand barefoot and reach over a 7 foot fence. That's as high as the top of a DOOR! His son that I ride now is 16.2 and if you took a picture of me trying to get up on him, I'd have to shoot you or just wait til you died laughing! Hahahaha! It's a FUNNY sight.
The second one is of me and the world famous Thoroughbred, Secreteriat

The one of Sec was long ago...1978

Thanks for sharing. I am no horse expert but even I can tell your stallion was special.The horses on my photos are all retired and of course they were used for work. Ivan.
