Backing Horsing Around







I'm happy to see the horses are back, hanging around Morris Cove. They were missing for months after a gelding operation to keep their numbers stable - can't say as I blame them! I'm sorry Sis missed them on her visit this summer - maybe next time!
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt
One of my favorite quotes and one I try to remember when I post something on here - unfortunately I'm usually stuck in Average Mind territory, especially given I post right before bed after some pretty long days. Sometimes I do discuss what I'm up to, because the these posts are essentially an open letter to my Dad, my siblings, my sons and their families, keeping in touch. What I try to never do is discuss anyone else that lives here - I don't even take pictures of other people, as a rule. What happens on the island stays on the island . . . .

You inspire me Steve! When I've had a tough day, or previous one, I can always come to your blog and feel totally better about myself through your thoughts. You keep my spirits up in these trying times and I thank you for that.

Oh, and I love it - just as I have thought - "What happens on the island, stays on the island". I also like (and use) the saying "What happens in Alaska, stays in Alaska".

The horses are enchanting! You made me want to see them. Your blog should be used to promote tourism on the island.

Oh, little bro. They are beautiful. I am so glad they are back. I hope I have another chance to see them. By the way, did I leave my book about the island ponies there?
love ya

Steve, what breath-taking photos of those horses! Did you know, my horse is an Appaloosa too? She would look right at home with those. Just beautiful, thanks for posting and all your other great photos which deserve their own separate praise comments!
