New pictures

Dec 12, 2005 08:20

So I went out and got a Flickr account, because I *still* have yet to find a way to manage my photos that I like. I added some new pictures of Sonic as a test...I think I like it so far!

These are some really nice pics that my friend Val took for me...check them out!

Oh Jen, he's so beautiful! My favorite is the shot of his hindquaters with you and him turning to face the camera. He reminds a little of my lost-too-soon prodigy Geronimo, just in that he's chestnut with high whites and has those kind and intelligent eyes. He's just gorgeous. And I like the site too, I liked looking at the slide show instead of having to click on all the pix. :-)

Thanks so much! He is such a doll, and I am so lucky to have him. You never really know what you're going to get with an ex-racehorse, so many of them are super hot (which is okay too!), but Sonic just wants to please.

I remember seeing a few pics of Geronimo in your LJ and on your site...he was a lovely boy. The good ones remain in your heart forever, you know? :)

You never really know what you're going to get with an ex-racehorse, so many of them are super hot (which is okay too!)Heh. Boy is that ever true! When I was 16, about the time I lost Geronimo, my boyfried had a HOTHOTHOT QH off the track. Of course you know we are gamers, and one of the races we run is rescue race. I am on the horse, run down full speed, turn him (Jason, my boyfriend at the time) like a barrel, he jumps on and we run back. Geronimo wasn't ready for rescue yet, so we were using his handful of a horse Deck for Rescue. I would have to get on him and say out loud "I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU. I AM THE BOSS!" and then I'd have to have a posse escort this horse into the ring because he just refused otherwise. One day, I swear to everything there is to swear to, I entered the arena, Deck looked Jason in the eye and said "I'm coming to get you fucker!" He took off and I am pulling to the right with both hands as hard as I can, yet he still leans left and BAM! runs RIGHT over Jason. Man, I wish I could have seen that in ( ... )

I've never worked with a QH off the track, but I can imagine they're hyper as anything...sprint, sprint, sprint! :) What a great story about Deck, though, sounds like he was a handful! Gaming does sound like it's a ton of fun, and if I ever get the right horse for it, I'd love to give it a try. I can't believe Deck needed an escort to get him into the ring! What a critter. :) I'm impressed that Jason was able to handle him, I don't know if I could have at that age.

It is so heartbreaking to lose a pet, horse or otherwise, at any age, but ESPECIALLY when they are young. We lost our Labrador when she was only 6 due to freak kidney failure. It's something you never really get over, but I 100% agree with you...it is best to just be thankful for the time that you did have. Don't be sorry, I get sniffly thinking about stuff like this too.

Chat away! Animal lovers always understand each other. :) I hope that you hear back soon, btw. :)

Dude, that's Val the Bulgarian?!

Your horsie's so pretty... I still need to meet him... I'm a bad auntie.

Yeppers, that's Val! I have other pics of him that I should add...there is an adorable one of Val standing with Sonic and giving him a hug. Val's a great guy.

Thanks, re: Sonic! You do have to meet him one of these days when you're in town for more than a day or two! He forgives his auntie, though. :)

Sorry I missed your call last night...will call ya back tonight, if you're around.

Awe, he's absolutely beautiful! One of the prettiest horses I've ever seen. I love his blaze ;)

Great pics! I love horses that have high socks like him =) I also love chestnuts lol

triplecrown December 13 2005, 13:08:09 UTC

Thanks! He is a purdy boy. Kind of a similar color to Remy, isn't he? Or is Remy a bit darker?

You going to get to see your boy sometime soon?

shininghotel December 13 2005, 14:13:35 UTC

Yeah they have a color that similar, I think thats why I like it lol.

I get to see my boy Dec. 26! =) I'm very very excited.

tashok December 14 2005, 14:44:06 UTC

Oh, wow, he really is a pretty boy. You both look so happy. Yay!
