Last weekend was a beautiful spring-like weekend, with temps around 70 degrees. Perfect for a drive to the country, so we went out to see my hubby’s sister, Sunni, who is a real life horse-woman. She is working on getting her own business going with boarding, training, riding lessons and trail rides and is working with a local small cattle rancher by renting his barn. She has two beautiful Tennesee Walking horses and it was a fun afternoon. She was grooming them when we arrived and I snapped lots of pics while she was working.
She’s a natural with horses and got this love from their mother, who had many horses of her own over the years. This is her newest horse, who she calls Little Roan and she is a young thing, 3 years old.

Love the photos – and you on the horse! We were in Virginia Beach over the weekend and you are right, it was gorgeous!
What a great post Rhoda. I LOVE horses and the photos were just beautiful. I loved the quote in the barn too :-}
What beautiful pictures. What beautiful horses. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful country side Rhoda and I love the horses. Horses are such regal animals. I’m not a rider, I’m actually afraid of horses but I sure do think they are beautiful.
I must be the only one I knew, who grew up with horses (my dad was a horse lover and owned many) and even had my own pony and never rode her or the horses…I was so afraid of them, still am to this day. My father I think, was disappointed that I did not inherit his love for riding. They are such gorgeous animals though, I so admire people who work with them, it is a lot of hard work and dedication. Looks like you had a lovely time with your sister in law. : )
Beautiful horses! I’ve never ridden a horse – maybe someday! I love the rocking chairs!
That’s funny – my ex-father-in-law had a horse named “Trouble”. That horse had the boniest butt ever. NOT a joy to ride. I haven’t been on a horse in…let’s see now…about 27 years. And I think Trouble was the last horse I rode, come to think of it. I guess I’m more suited to riding an escalator than I am a horse. lol

Thanks for stopping by today…if you do the wallwords, send me a photo or link to your blog if you post it and I will share it in blogville. Dana
Beautiful photos of those gorgeous horses! Wow…her barn is amazing. What a place to visit!
My Daddy used to take my sister and I to ride on the weekends. We had a local stable nearby. I always rode the same horse, Echo. He was a sweetie pie. I haven’t been riding in years though. The last time we did was in Arizona. George’s horse was the biggest horse I’ve ever seen. Scary. And his name was Lightning. LOL
Hugs!
