Horse Play

I was testing out my zoom lens yesterday. I found Ozzie and Prince playing in the pasture. I stood on my back porch and zoomed in as far as my lens would go. Ozzie and Prince play just about every morning. I think it's more of a male dominance thing. Ozzie tries to let Prince know who's the boss. Prince won't be two years old until May, so Ozzie has to tell him who's the boss before Prince gets any bigger. It looks all innocent at first. And they have to check to make sure that nobody is watching them. They go back to getting all sweet, and then Ozzie tries to break out the big guns. Who ever can put their head up the highest and bite the other horse wins. But I think Ozzie is just a tad bit shorter. Poor guy. Then they are off. Who ever is the fastest wins. I think all the mud and water was slowing them down just a tad. Yeah, running was not a very good idea. Once last face up to determine who's the boss. But I think Prince was a bit fed up with Ozzie's games. Prince reared up and I think he smacked Ozzie in the muzzle. Let me zoom in a bit on Ozzie's face there a bit. Yeah, Ouch! I bet Rocky never felt like that! Ozzie didn't have to be told twice. He will have to try for alpha gelding some other day. I think these two act like this because they are the only two geldings in a pasture full of mares. I hope that one day Ozzie will just give up the fight for head honcho. Oh, and the arena is almost done. We just have to do the two short ends and the roping boxes and we are finished. Hooray. Oh, and this is totally off the subject, but my sister in law gave me the coolest purse for Christmas. Well, it really wasn't for Christmas, it was just because. My sister in law said she thought it was too big. But I love it. I am using it for a diaper bag and purse. I was so excited. She is the best!! And that bad holds a lot. I have diapers, wipes, infant Tylenol, Cowpokette's shoes, socks, wallet, makeup, pens, and I still have lots of room. Not to mention it has the cutest eggbutt snaffle bit I have ever seen. So, when the bag is all worn out I can just cut that bit out and use it on a pony!! Fantastic!

Oh, and I have not forgotten about the sucker contest. We just got back from Houston today. I got to go and pick up Big Cowpoke! We are so excited to have him back home. So, I will do a drawing Sunday night. I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year!!
