Saturday's Horses - Maddie & Pete - Neighbors Satine and Pistol + 'Round The Farm [View all]

Last edited Sat Jul 11, 2026, 05:09 PM - Edit history (1)

Our neighbor Grace brought her other mare over. Her name is Pistol.
She's on the right.

Satine looking at camera.

Satine by herself.


Maddie and Pete ~
They were grazing. Suddenly Maddie raised her head and looked right at me.

She dropped her head, ate some more.

Then looked at me again. As if she knew she on camera.


Eating dinner.



Shadow likes to harass the horses. We don't like her to. She has
a bark collar which helps.
The other morning she got Pete teed off.


But usually they ignore THAT DOG.

Around The Farm ~
The previous owners planted flowers and we're glad they did.

This Common Bugloss produces dense clusters of small, five-petaled
flowers that are typically dark purple-blue with a white center.


Black-eyed Susans


Clematis Vine

Same vine, different angle.


Orange Day Lily

Finally she rests.

Barn has inside lights.


She created a walkway to the barn —

and through to the other side.

Their first time in the barn together. It's why Laurie built her barn.
