Free to Be

I've talked about these horses only through comments and thought I should explain them on the blog.
I've been hiking every Monday and see these horses each week at that time.  They are rescued horses, at one time 'bound for the glue factory'.  The rescuers place the horses in more than one location and the area of my hiking is one.  They always come to the fence to see us and seem friendly though I'm only guessing as I know nothing about horses.

Don't Fence Me In In by  Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton (one of my all-time favorite songs, since childhood and all those Hollywood westerns.)

Aw, they look sweet. And they seem to be good buddies, too.
Mary MacADNski: They're good buddies and very comfortable with one another.
They remind me of girls in the schoolyard, for some reason. Great photo.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Karen. I think they're pretty good pals.

It's almost as if the horses posed for you. Great animal shot, and they are beauties, too.
Mary MacADNski: I see them every week. They are rescued horses and live in a barn on my hiking route. They are really healthy and beautiful and there are lots of shots of them in my archives.
