What a treat to see you here. I'm glad this time your comment was published and I look forward to your future visits.<BR/><BR/>Maria lives here on the island and is a horse lover who has temporarily gone horseless as she raises her two children. Maria is the daughter-in-law to Hugh McLaughlin, an island relator, and is the fine fellow who helped us obtain our fabulous property which we call Ravenseyrie.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments, Annemiek and Maria!Lynne Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107340619393934366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572142164579536708.post-74990422222772001072008-08-06T22:42:00.000-04:002008-08-06T22:42:00.000-04:00I tried to leave a comment before but I don't thin...I tried to leave a comment before but I don't think it worked!

For me it would feel like living in a National Geographic movie. You know when I go out with Rudolf I spent a lot of time just watching him. He is only one horse and we go out together but I never feel bored for one minute. If being out there with one horse feels so good, than it must feel like heaven to spent time with your colorful family. I have one daughter and you know what fascinated me more than anything else? Seeing the world through a child’s eyes. I have learned so much by just watching my baby grow and explore the world around her. I believe you will learn just as much from watching the world through a foals eyes. It would be nice if you could let us get a glimpse every now and then with pictures and films from your wonderful new camera, haha! But knowing you a little, I’m sure you will. Know that it is highly appreciated!<BR/> <BR/>As for the little new colt: he looks absolutely magnificent! And Altamiro must feel proud indeed. It is so funny to see how the rest of the herd is trying to get their curiosity satisfied. I have seen a film once where the members of a herd all acted as if they where grazing, and in the mean time slowly tried to advance on the little new member of their group. It was hilarious, they pretended to be really busy, but at the same time it was SO obvious they were trying to sneak closer to the mare with her baby. Oow you are lucky to be able to see this all happening in front of you!<BR/>AnnemiekAnnemiekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962378758056371983noreply@blogger.com
