Just a small tribute post to the horses that occupy the walking paths near my house. I’ll be honest, I’ve never enjoyed horseback riding, but I do enjoy seeing them out and about:

You live in a lovely area! I too don’t care to ride horses, had a bad experience years ago but do enjoy watching them. Graceful and beautiful animals. Is that a church in the photo?

Yes, it is. The public path goes through the pasture and then through the churchyard. By doing this you bypass a small but busy road. It is one of my favorite sections of walking path in the area.

I’m with you on riding. I fell from a horse that I lost control of when I was 12 and even thought I was made to go right back on I have never been back on a horse since. I agree, though that they are lovely to look at and whenever I see one I’m the first to snap a picture.

Yes, I always find it hard to relax, which of course the horse picks up on right away.

The bay horse ( instagram photo and top left of the other photos) has a “quirk” bump . This is an interesting bone bump that indicates he is a very individual character. Linda Tellington Jones has a book of different facial features in horses and what it can tell you about them. My horse Biasini also has a quirk bump and he lives up to it for sure.

This horse’s quirk seems to be that it really likes me. My youngest commented on this last week. She pointed out that it seems to ignore everyone else but always comes up to me and follows me along the path.

It really helps if you can relax when you are riding, something that I could never manage.
