It Was a Harsh Winter

Yes, it was, indeed, a hard Winter.  We all made it through!  And now it is Spring and the landscape little by little is becoming fringed with green.  What a delight for the horses, to enjoy fresh greens!

Altamiro, Capaz, Sedutor, Fidalgo, Legado, Ousado, Silvestre, Interessado and Destemido, our bachelors continue living here with us at Ravenseyrie.  Zorita, Bella, Belina, Fada, Pinoteia, Esperanda, Altavida and Rija continue to live on lovely range down in Tehkummah.  And I continue to be inspired by all of them, painting them frequently, especially during this Chinese Year of the Horse.

A sampling of winter images that I’ve been meaning to post, but was so preoccupied with all the hardships we endured that I am only now getting to it.  I trust I will be following up soon with Spring images.

All is well with the Ravenseyrie horses in both of our preserves.  Feeling grateful for this!

 

Late August Beauty

A chilly, blustery autumn like day made for some captivating images.  Let’s enjoy a few of the bachelors under the dramatic sky.

 

Lush Life

Ousado

 

This has been an unusually wet summer and we are not complaining as typically at this time of year our well is dry, the rangeland shrivelled and the trees parched.

It’s no surprise then that the horses are in ample flesh.  Often they do not come up for breakfast oats at all because they have such lush forage to enjoy, so when they do make an appearance, it makes the day extra fine.

Please enjoy a few images of some of the wild boys on a cool, dewy morning with magical mists.
