Yep they are..the first horses I ever started to learn on both were Tennessee Walkers & i just fell in love with the breed sooo my first horse of my own just HAD to be a Walker!! he's only a year old right now, but he already is a high stepper when he trots or runs so i don't think it'll be too hard once he's broke to get him to rack. when i look at him from straight on or from the side, you can see how his high stepping is just the natural thing tennessee walkers do..sooo like i said, i'm thinking he'll be a piece of cake to get him to really bring those legs high when he's broke! i'm SO excited for next year to come because like i said, that boy is my baby..the loooove of my life. haha but yes, tennessee walkers are so nice to ride..so smooth & just ah, i love the breed!!!! if i had enough money, all my horses that i bought woulda been Walkers instead of just my first lol..but it works out since the walker is mine, the mini is mine, the percheron/quarter turned into being my step dads, and the new quarter horse will be my moms once she has her baby. SO i guess i still do only have a walker :P.. but anyways that got to be a long ramble!!! sorry about that.

someday i think i will give a mare a try, but i won't be getting anymore horses until something happens to one of these 4 which i hope wont be for a very very very long time..but maybe someday i'll try for a mare tennessee walker. haha

i know, right? some people shouldn't be allowed to have animals. i don't even understand how people can do those things to animals & think it's ok.

aww i'm glad you have such an amazing girl! my step dad won't let me get a mare.. he dislikes the mood swings & all that. so we have all geldings here. i have a 1 year old Tennessee Walker, a 6 year old miniature, and my new one i just bought this weekend is a 12 year old Quarter...then my step dad's is the percheron/quarter. Once my Walker is ready to go, the new horse will end up being my mom's, but she's pregnant right now so that's why he isn't right now! lol..i rode him last night & he is really what i need. the woman who i'll be getting lessons from on him said we're a good match. but noooo matter what, my tennessee walker will always be my #1..i swear that boy is the love of my life lol

thank you! that's what we were told this horse (percheron/quarter) was ridden in for so long & what he's used to.. but after looking in his mouth about a week ago, we see why. this horse was severly abused in more ways than just one. one of them being his tongue has this HUGE cut across it..so somebody obviously wasn't too friendly with the bit. so that's probably why he ended up "being used to a hackamore". I could go on & on with ways that horse was abused...can't stand people who do that!!! but thank you SO much! what kind of horse is your mare?

i'm really confused on how to use it, but it's for my step dad & his horse..so hope he knows! hahaha!

Just wanted to let you know I got the hackamore today! Thank you for shipping so fast!

you know, i think you're right about the sheep flock thing! our neighbors down the street only have 2 and they are both super nice. We have 4 and the 4 sheep and 2 alpacas form their own little herd....they have each other so they don't need us humans!
and the lacee pics....those are before she put on the hay belly! i'm thinking that once the grass in the pasture dries out a bit more she'll slim down some. hopefully!

Lacee is beautiful!!! I don't think she's that fat... at least she's an easy keeper at her age... it's much better than having a hard keeper. Her face reminds me of my old girl.

I've heard they're less friendly when you have more than one cause they have friends and don't need your company I have a Suffolk ewe and she's very friendly. She follows me like a dog (I think she thinks she's half dog and half horse). She's never had another sheep for company since she was 2 months old, so we're her flock... I would have liked to get her a companion, but I was told a huge no!

oh you guys are so sweet! Yeah, i have a bunch of lacee pics. i'll add some to my album. I'm warning you though, she has a horrendous hay belly at the moment. We've been working really hard to slim it down and adjust her diet but that belly is persistent! I'll put some up tonight or tomorrow.
the mostly black shee and the white sheep are 3/4 shetland 1/4 jacob and the spotty ones are pure jacobs. They are funny! the only one who is really friendly is the black one....and that's only once in a while. The others are pretty off standish but still cute and will let you pet them if you have some grain ;-)
And Haas, yes that would be nice! I'd love to have other horsey friends.... my instructor and neighbor and a couple of boarders that are at the barn where i take lessons are the only people who i can chat about horses with or ride with. I am still worming my way into the horse scene but slowly, i'm meeting other horsey folks :-)

Do you have any pics of Lacee?

Your other animals are cute! What breed are your sheep?
