Horse!

[mijan]

I just wanted to introduce you to my horse, Champ.  

He's 16 hands high (that's very tall for a Quarterhorse), and is an absolutely darling horse with a playful personality, and a definite desire to please.  He also LOVES the snow.  I swear, he just likes to frolic.  We get to the field, and he can't wait to get into the snow, which in most places, comes up past his knees and hocks.  He's also got the most gorgeous tail, but my sister decided to braid it today, so you can't even see how nice it is.  Oh, and the sun was in our eyes... he normally doesn't look quite that sleepy.  LOL.  Trust me, I'll be taking lots more pictures, so you'll get to see better.  I can't wait until summer when he sheds his shaggy winter coat, and you can see how shiny his summer coat is.  :D

I also have a video that my sister took of me riding.  It's kinda shakey, and my sister had the sun behind me, instead of behind her when she positioned herself (silly person), but you can certainly see us gallop past. This is the video:  http://members.cox.net/phoenixsong/potterart/Champ_Gallop.AVI  (Be patient... it takes a moment to load.)

I'll hopefully have more videos and pictures soon.

Hey, can you link me to that short fic you wrote, the one with the journal and...well it's Harry/Draco...I just remember it's great and I fancied reading it but I can't seem to find it!

Oh and your horse is sooooo cute! I actually have never rode a horse before. Seems kind of scary but I'm sure it's loads of fun. The snow is really gorgeous too, I adore snow, do you happen to have any other photos of it?

And you've never ridden a horse? Oh my... we need to change that!

Riding CAN be scary... it depends on if you're riding a good horse or not. I've ridden some VERY ill-behaved horses. One in particular actually tried repeatedly to throw me off; she didn't succeed in ditching me, but she's thrown everyone else who has ridden her. However, Champ is a sweet-natured horse who actually loves to be ridden, and would never NEVER intentionally do something scary. Perfectly safe.
