This is Junior. He's kindof a PITA, but awfully cute. This is him blocking my way back into the barn after I dumped a wheelbarrow full of crap out in the pasture.
Yeah, it's definitely the bestest job, ever! I mean... as long as you're completely horse-crazy. I'm sure it'd suck major balls if you weren't in love w/ horses.
Katie is a big, big horse (the wall behind her in that pic is about 6' tall). We've got 3 Belgians on the farm, & she's the smallest . ^_^ I think Katie is a little over 17 hands at the shoulder (one hand = 4" ). Ted is around 18 hands & Mark is close to 19... I'm 6' tall & Mark's shoulder is several inches over my head when I stand next to him. o_O

I dunno if bear & hawk are necessarily watching over me so much as casually checking me out when they're bored. ;} Still, it's awfully nifty having them around.
Oh, trust me... I'll be posting pix whenever I get a chance. I always have a camera with me at work, but I don't always have a chance to use it... I'm trying to get into the habit of whipping it out more often. ^_^
Thanks! Yeah, it's hard work, but so totally worth it. I mean, I don't get paid much, but considering I'd do this job for free just for the opportunity to be around the horses, I think I'm getting a pretty good deal.
'Course, if I weren't being paid, I wouldn't be there over 40 hours a week, but still... ;}

Really unusual for a Belgian, too... don't think I've ever heard of one w/ blue eyes, before. Definitely way cool.
