[MELNEL]

Beautiful 💗🥰💗 I love horses 🥰

I love to spend time on a back of a horse, they always make me feel calm.

[SORRELHIPPO in reply to MELNEL]

Loved riding as a child, the ponies were ridden by lots of children and had learnt how to deal with us. Breath in, stretch stomach, feel girth being fitted, wait for child's foot to go in stirrup, and weight to start to go onto saddle, then breath out quickly. Then look innocently at child on the ground. But lovely to hug if you are miserable.

[Threecats in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

I was one of those children😂 The little devil used to do it every time😂😂

[HungryHufflepuff]

[Greenthorn]

You catch nature in the most wonderful and surprising circumstances. The colouring is sublime. Thanks for posting. I can see Snapjack dreaming on this one!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Greenthorn]

Thanks so much Greenthorn ❤

[yorkpensioner]

Thank you. You have a good eye for a photo. I walk with the ramblers and my approach is to take lots of photos and hope some of them turn out ok. 😀

[Ergendl in reply to yorkpensioner]

It would be lovely to see the odd photo from your area too.

[Blackbird9 in reply to yorkpensioner]

York pensioner I'm much the same take loads then flick through please share some of your own ❤

[OOB_Tigger]

That made me draw breath and utter WOW! Another absolutely stunning shot of your beautiful part of the country. That is definitely a picture I would have up on the wall at home. Thank you so much for posting. 😊🤗Hope you and Stan are well.

Jackie and Jasper 🐾 xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to OOB_Tigger]

Ah J & J that's so very kind of you ❤🧡

[Izb1]

I often wonder how do they manage in this cold weather, finding food and are their hooves needing attention, they always look fit and healthy so must be ok. Magnificent creature x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

They have owners that take them in at certain times of the year for all the ponies needs if you google round up new forest area it will explain it all ❤🧡

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Thank you BB I will have a look. I love horses but dont think they like me. When younger I used to visit my sisters farm and they had horses that came right upto the fence from the fields and always tried to bite me, so I steer clear now x

[Snackjack]

Beautiful picture, looks a bit chilly. xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Snackjack]

Chilly to start but then I was wearing a tshirt in the afternoon so very mild when the sun warms 😊

[watergazer]

Wow. You know I had to look very carefully at this one. I thought at first the horse was standing in the sea Amazing how a day can change so much x

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

Just a very chilly frozen water moment but seeing horses in the sea swimming is amazing... unfortunately don't see a lot of it roundabouts ❤

[HollyBoyd]

Having a great love of horses I always appreciate the beautiful photos you post of the New Forest ponies. I certainly miss the opportunity to be with them, so thank you for all the brilliant photos xxx 🐴🐴🐴

[Blackbird9 in reply to HollyBoyd]

Your so very welcome Holly have you been around here beforehand ❤🧡

[HollyBoyd in reply to Blackbird9]

Only once before. I really meant being with horses & ponies in general, just love seeing them move. Before becoming less able my friend and I went to Vienna to see the Lipizzaner horses perform, a truly magnificent display, one of my bucket list xxx

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

[Caspiana]

This is a very calming picture and look at the ice on the water. Thank you as always BB. I'd never be able to get to see anything like this where I live. Not even close. xx 💕

[Blackbird9 in reply to Caspiana]

I'm hoping you enjoy ❤

[Walkwalkwalk]

Oh, there is so much in that photograph. The light, the colour, the patterns of the ice In my minds-eye I-hear the soft sounds of the ice, the horse’s breath and feel the sharp freshness of the air. Beautiful vicarious living from one photo. Thank you. I am so glad that you have such a wonderful place to live and explore. Grave

[Blackbird9 in reply to Walkwalkwalk]
