Saturday horses. Maddie and Pete.

[George McGovern]

Laurie brought Pete home recently. He got his first look at Maddie and she at him after 3 months' separation. He had spent summer with friends, teaching a boy to ride. He got the marks on his hip rubbing against the stall divider in the trailer.






There's been some bumping and squealing, but they're settling in. Pete and Maddie are half-brother, half-sister.





The neighbor girls came over to talk with the horses yesterday.

1. Maddie looks like she is happy to see Pete.

Probably telling Pete not to worry about the marks. He is still very handsome.

4. Another pretty Paint!

He looks like a very solid fellow. I'm sure Pete is glad to see his sister, and she's glad to see him. Horses always do better with companions.

9. Love #4

been 58 years since I've been on a horse. At 10 years old, I was "contracted" by my neighbor to feed and stable his horse, let him out in the morning and put him up at night, ride him when I wanted. At the same time a school friend of mine owned a riding stable and we got to ride anytime we wanted for cleaning the stalls. great photos!

[George McGovern]

10. Thanks HAB911! Your ten years old contractor memory sounds like a happy one. Nice to look back.

Looks like he has settled in nicely. They look quite content now. I wonder if Maddie missed him? TY for sharing, George.

[George McGovern]
