She has a fierce expression most of the time.
Then it softens and she looks like sweet kitty.
I made a shepherds pie for dinner and it was so good it makes me wonder why I rarely make one. This was made with meat I'd cooked for the lasagna so it was ground beef and Italian sausage. So good! My blog friends are inspiring me.
I've had the rest of the round bales delivered for the season. That is a relief, knowing they are in the shed. You know how you make a small fortune in the horse business? Start out with a large one.

Ha Ha Ha. I only had six horses at the same time and two more since then. Don't even want to know what I have invested in them. Can't imagine what you have into it. I had dreams of breeding and selling Trakehners but discovered that breeding anything is not for me as I can't part with the babies.
I often think animals have it all over humans with ear speech! We can barely move our ears, and we can't signal with them.
Wonder what suggested the pie, now..it sounds very good. It's a cottage pie if the meat was beef, though. Technicalities here! Using lamb makes it shepherd's pie. I don't know what a vegetarian version would be called. Or if a chicken version is poulterer's pie.
I'm sure you're quite enthralled with this completely uninvited burst of facts.
Animals say an awful lot with their ears, Boud!
Since there was Italian sausage in it is it a shepardi pie? 😉 I enjoy learning and now I know the difference between a cottage pie and a shepherds pie. I don't know where I got the inspiration, but I'm glad I did.
Lori, they are expensive beasties! I had to stop breeding because I came to a point I wouldn't sell them. Too many cruel people in the world.
So, both of you and the horses will be well fed. Good job!
Your photo of Sophie brought a tear to my eye. She was gorgeous. Blogger must have done away with my lengthier comment about riding and being thrown and landing face first...from a quarter horse. I kept riding but only until high school graduation. I would have loved to have had a horse of my own, but could not swing it and no place to put it as an adult. Now, not sure I could mount safely. I sometimes miss riding. This was a nice horse fix.
When I was a " mothers helper" in England as teen a long time ago. I lived with a family who had a very regimented way of living.(as do most English people that is why they stayed in England LOL) Shepherds pie was a regular Saturday lunch item,which was the main meal of the day. This was because on Sunday we had roast meat dinner, a large chunk of usually beef or mutton.Then during the week we had it cold sliced up with vegetables and then what was left at the end of the week was ground up to make the Shepherds pie. I was taught how to make it.
My sister in England set out to breed Welsh Cobs she bought a yearling who became her stallion and two mares. She now has five very cherished Welsh Cobs. Plus several who are out there somewhere from mares bred to her Stallion, he is now a gelding.
e, I didn't know you had history with horses. I don't know how you were tossed but nothing bucks like a QH!
I could not get on a horse if my life depended on it. They are simply eating machines. now. There will be more horse fix in the future.
marlane, the English side of my family tree knows order and regimentation well. And that side left England in the 1700s!!! I had three stallions, two were gelded after the 2008 market crash. Solo was one of the three. Zing is still intact. I like the Welsh Cob.
She looks mad in the first photo.
Yes I agree that is how to make a small fortune with horses, thanks for the smile:)
Far Side, she usually looks mad. She would be the crabby old lady telling kids to get off her lawn! She is unusual. 😄 my home in the South of France is standing in the paddocks eating money!
