Goatorama kids of 2014

Yeah, it's hunting season 'round these parts. If I remember correctly it was either archery or muzzle loader season when those photos were taken, but it never hurts to be extra cautious. A handful of horses and mules get shot every year and I don't want one of them to be mine. It also helps the ATV and dirt biker riders catch sight of us quicker. I'm usually more concerned for their safety than for mine--my horses are very good with ATV's and stuff, but one dirt biker almost wiped out when he came round a bend and panicked at the sight of oncoming horses. Most folks are very courteous around horses--if they see us!

I just love how comfortable Finn is around the horses. I was hoping to take him out for more trail rides throughout the fall since he's gotten too stinky to walk with enjoyably, but this vesicular stomatitis quarantine is putting a damper on all my big plans!
