I've got 'em. ;)

I met my neighbor's neice when I was helping them move earlier this year and she had her horses moves out to their horse property (they're not selling the house here) while she's staying with her mom. Misha is pregnant so we meet up every once in a while and work with the horses together and I've been taking care of them some days, and will be doing so more and more as she gets closer to having her baby (late this month! Yikes!) I've just been doing basic grooming, feeding, hoof-picking, lunging, etc, as well as picture taking and sitting in the corral and watching them eat and communicate with eachother. They haven't been ridden in months so lunging is how we're starting to get back into working.

The chestnut is a Quarter Horse named Key and the other is a Missouri Fox Trotter/Thoroughbred cross named Pacos (pronounced like pay-kiss). They're both geldings.
I'm very fond of both of them but Key is leaving a very firm and special hoofprint in my heart. He's difficult sometimes but I love his personality.
(If you notice his "dent" in his forehead, it's from when he was neglected when he was still a foal and had a halter on and never removed while he was still growing.)

That's all of them! :) I have a vid of me lunging Key, but the video uploader isn't working properly for me. I'll try again tomorrow if I have time (thank you for hours of uploading times, dial up!).

Wow, they're gorgeous.
I don't own a horse myself, but I do volunteer work with them, which is so cool.
Actually, Pacos looks a bit like the old boy we have. He's retired now, we're trying to find him a new home, but the colouring and build are the same, especially the flea-bitten pattern! Except for the fact Beau is at least 27, is sway-backed and slow.
I'm very fond of both of them but Key is leaving a very firm and special hoofprint in my heart. He's difficult sometimes but I love his personality.
Oh, my favourite boy at RDA, a chestnut skewbald named Dex, is the same. He is a little difficult sometimes, but he has a great personality too.
How lucky you are to be working with 2 wonderful horses!
