Title: some photos from today
Post by: mowhaugh on December 01, 2013, 01:09:45 pm
Hope it is OK to share these here, it is a lovely sunny day so thought I'd take some pics, mixed species so wasn't sure where to put them!

Doreen's new friend looks gorgeous, I'm sure they'll be very happy together.   It's dark and gloomy down south, a pleasure to see sun on your fields and animals in large open fields.  Cheered me up your photos.

Poor horse, I bet its never had a terrorist thought in its life, it looks far too gentle.

We are in the Scottish Borders. I do have ponies that could be described as terrorists, but not the one wearing the uniform!

great pictures and a good idea to post them. Maybe we could have a regular  Sunday picture slot - even Sunday lunch made from smallholding produce would be good.
That horse must be cosy in the rug and hood - probably warmer than I was this morning  ;D

Super photos, but how did you get them all on one post - I thought the limit was four and a total of 1mb?

Oh, I didn't know that, sorry if I have been naughty!

You can't have been naughty if it allowed you to do it - maybe I just misread things.

Oh Daaaaaannnnnnn!  Can you clarify please?  In idiot jargon not PC stuff please  :innocent:

the photos are hosted off TAS and posted into the forum software so they are fine, it is photo's uploaded to TAS that have file size limits on them.


There are some really good shots in there, although I too have to ask why the horse is wearing a balaclava? Is it to avoid identification when he steals someone else's hay???

She has a rug on because she is fully clipped, and the hood is because the field is full of sticky burrs, and because she is the one I take out in public, it is easier than picking burrs out of her mane, forelock, and ears every time.  She doesn't steal anyone else's hay, it is all hers,the others are very occasionally allowed a wee taste with her permission - that's how she sees it, anyway!

You're going to have to explain that one to me, David - I have no idea what the difference is.  I upload photos from my pc.

I don't know if this helps, but I uploaded the photos from my PC to the website Photobucket (you have to open and account but it is free), then you copy a link from Photobucket, and paste it into the box when you are writing your thread.

Can almost feel the warmth of the winter sunshine!

All look exceptionally well, beautiful ponies/ horses, love the colouring and the ' caped crusader' :wave:
