It looks like the color of one of those great silk scarves that you have. I never tire of looking at the blue skies of New Mexico - all 10,000 shades of them.
I love the closeups of your burros. It makes them look noble. Of course I have the video in my head of them "dancing" so this is a different side of them.
I agree with Grey Horse, those are great paint names. I looked at those photos and read your post and wanted to redecorate immediately - a nice NM Monsoon Blue with Burro Brown trim!
Have you been keeping the freeze brands shaved, or does their coat grow that slowly? I wondered too about the neck biting during play. Horses seem to be a precarious balance between dangerous strength and vulnerable delicacy.
Lynette, burro hair seems to grow verrrrry slowly - I haven't done anything to their brand areas since the initial clip five weeks ago. For as much as they gnaw on each other, George and Alan are cut- and scrape-free. Their skin is so much tougher and thicker than the horses'.

ReplyDeleteI purchased something this week, and immediately thought of you. I would like to send it to you as a little surprise...
Would you email me your address?
My email is on my blog. I will give you a hint...it has something to do with one of your animals....any guesses? I will say this, it is vintage.
Gorgeous! And I just want to kiss his nose in that last pic!

ReplyDeleteDon't we have just the most amazing skies? If it weren't for the rain and the snow, I would live out on the deck full time.
