well i can't forget about my new baby boy, Dakota. Ten years old, arrived last saturday. a beautiful pait with maybe some arab? some tennessee walker in him? who knows. he's brown and white with a black and white mane and a black tail. he is well trained, but hasn't been ridden in a long time. he was skittish at first, he really wasn't used to people around him. but now he is more comfortable and i can apporach him for all kinds of things: treats, fly mask, halter, bath, pet and groom. he is getting used to having his shoes off and is now wearing easy boots when we ride. oh, and in the backround of this photo is mr k's new love, ck 580 backhoe (why are men so fascinated by ho's?)
