On those last two that may not quite seem landscape, that's just because I cropped around them, but I have the originals saved, so I could crop those down to landscape size if needed.

Okay so here are mine as of right now. But maybe by July I'll have some new ones. These are all of my Belgian Warmblood, Romeo.

^^^ This one's from this past December

^^^This one's from August '06

^^^And this one's from January '06 after being out to pasture for 2+yrs

The last one I really like partly b/c of the story behind it. Romeo badly fractured a hind coffin bone and was laid up for several years. Mom was getting to a point where she felt we couldn't afford to keep him and do nothing so she said we had to donate him somewhere. We drove out to see him to see how sound he was and if he might be rideable again. After spending a few hours with him mom and I get in the car and she says "God I missed that horse. Ok you're right he's not going anywhere." So we brought him back and worked on getting him sound again. For the first few months he was still noticeably lame but the vets all said he wasn't in pain and light work would actually help. And now almost 2 years later he's quite sound, healthy and happy.

Okay sorry for the rambling story but I felt like sharing so there you go
