Maybe's Coming Home

My digital camera died on me on my last ride out of town. I LOVE to take pictures on my rides and I felt naked on Saturday. I don't get to ride very often with my daughter these days. She was able to come on a charity ride close to my house and I sure would've liked to get a couple of pics of her and her mare Maybe. This ride was for Dreams Come True - an organization that fulfills dreams for children who have been diagnosed with a life threatening disease. The threat of rain was 60% for the day, but the clouds parted for the ride and everyone had a great time. I bought a throwaway camera and will use it to get some more pics soon. In the meantime, here's a pic of my girl Stylin and one of my other girl Dixie.




Jenny has been leasing her horse Maybe out for the last 2-1/2 years and the lease ends on November 30th. That means that Maybe will be coming home. I set up a stall for her this afternoon and am looking forward to having her around for a while. This is Maybe - a solid bred Paint - registered name is Zippos Diamond Girl. She is my mare's first born and is a short stout pony like her.

  1. Holy Smokes, Mabye is so adorable!! I love her, and look at that mane, amazing.

    You have some really nice horses there. I have always thought how amazing it is to have such a loud paint momma and get a solid baby. Can't wait to see more pictures of Maybe and hear how her lease went.

  2. My daughter actually bought Maybe as a 2 year old to train herself. While she was picking her up, she saw Maybe's dam, Stylin and told me about her. I saw her picture on line and had to have her. When I bought Stylin, she had just weaned another baby, which was a tovero. Then I bred her some years later and she had an overo like herself. Maybe was very easy to start and has a laid back personality most of the time. I'll post some day soon about her and her siblings. If you look in our picture albums or history - you'll see other pics of her.

  3. I know how you feel with no camera.
    I've been without mine since it was stolen last month and it kills me everytime I see something photoworthy, realizing all I have is this old borrowed basic digital with no zoom. (sob)

    I hope you'll be able to get yours fixed or get a new one soon.

    Maybe is a cutie. I love how you all did her mane. I'm going to try that with Baby Doll's mane someday, I think.

    Dixie and Stylin are both just beautiful horses. It's plain to see you take such awesome care of them, too. :)
