The boys

Good grief Beamer. Sunny days are here! You can get up! C'mon, lets go wash the mud off you and you can go graze!
Listen to all that moaning- somebody didn't want his nap disturbed.
I hosed the mud off and put him in his grass pen- much better!

Nitro has his own special place to nap in the morning sunshine- right on the side of the compost heap; this side is old stuff that has turned to dirt, it's what my gardens are made of.
Love those fuzzy ears!
And just in case you think this is normal Nitro, here's a reminder- this was him a few minutes later, guess he was building up his "Nitro tank".
Please excuse the sound of my breathing, this camera has a really good microphone and I do have loud breathing. 
Since I'm showing you the boys, I guess I shouldn't leave Rio out, he was looking good in the early morning light.

His wire cuts are healing, I hope I can get through the rest of the year without any more mishaps (sigh). The good thing is that he is getting used to being hosed off, and is good with his feet. Also with all this handling I'm staying on top of his manners- a good thing with a young stallion.

All good lookin guys. Nitro looks a little down(he's usually so animated) in that shot...or did you just wake him up?

Janice- Nitro was napping and using the dirt to hold his head up; this was the first sunny morning we've had for a while and they were just loving it.
Sherry- solar powered, LOL!

Funny Beamer! 'If I keep laying here and pretend she's not there, maybe she'll go away.'
we have a 21-year-old who, when you're riding him can moan and groan like a haunted house!
