The girls. And Rio, of course!

We had a little fun in the sun yesterday, the mares and Rio were feeling good. I took a couple of photos front on of Belle and Gussie- I'm pretty sure Gussie isn't pregnant.

wide load

And I'm positive Coyote Belle is!

pfffffth!
It's just the foreshortening in this photo that makes Gussie look so wide.

who, us?
Yes, Gussie, that's your good side. If you say so.
It didn't take much to get them to move out and have fun.
Even Mama Belle hiked up her big belly and raced through the snow.

Rio too!

I like the way you get your action shots. Keep the horses in, get the camera ready, let them out.

The way it works here is: The horses are playing. Quick get the camera, get out there. Oh shoot, they're done.

They all look great! and from as slim and tight as her belly looks esp inj the area of her loin I would agree, open!

Jenn said...

Oh, Belle, you is HUGE!!! Don't mares look impossibly huge when they are preggers? I can't even imagine lugging that thing around.

And they all look fabulous!

Crystal said...

When you look at them together, Id say it dont look like Gussie is prego either, but Belle sure has a belly on her!

I love your horses! They're all so beautiful. Mama Belle looks ready to pop. That's going to be exciting!! And Rio is a doll. I LOVE him!

Nice pics Shirley. When is Belle due to foal? I don't think either of mine caught but mine were bred after yours. I should see something by the beginning of March, I'm thinking.

Shirley said...

Belle was bred April 22-24 so that makes her due anytime after April first. 2 more months!

The W.O.W. factor! said...

Yep! They all look like they were enjoying some sun! Love the last shot....drinking from a snowed in water trough??
