Friday - Horses and Around The Farm - Pete and Barn Building. [View all]

Pete was born to our mare Misty. A Paint baby boy.

He got to be friends with our puppydog Chewy.

This was while Star Wars was out and Chewy was short for Chewbacca.

Pete was a cute colt.





His very first showing was a success. He didn't panic and showed well.

In these nest two pictures he was around one year old.
Here he was out grazing with one of our older horses.

He had grown into a good looking youngster.

We'll catch back up with Pete, Pt. 2, next week.
Around The Farm ~
Way back when, this is how the barn began.


We took a walk around and inside today. It's coming together.


Our "grand-dog" Pepper's here. She was scoping things out.


As usual, Shadow was in charge.


Laurie worked on walls,

but took a break for a photo opportunity.

Meanwhile, Maddie and Pete took things in stride. Lazy like.

Here's where we are today.
