Grazing Horses

Watching horses graze in pastures is medicinal to all who have time to sit and ponder which blade of grass will be eaten next. The herd continues to grow, and Annie, the three month old American Quarter Horse filly gets bigger every day. In the photo, Annie is second from the left, almost as big as her mother.

The herd considers itself a family, much like yours and mine, except this one has two mothers, two brothers, and one baby sister. When it rains the family stands together, over Annie, who lays under them. They also stand under the pine trees. Eating grass, along with grain and hay, is their favorite past time. Sometimes they even people-watch, walking with me as I go down the lane to get the mail. Interesting animals, these horses.
