Violette and Vidock Vendredi


Violette: Pretty Neighs, Every Friend! I hope that my friends in North America are a little warmer and the ones in England a little less wet. One thing that is certain is that I am a lot less muddy!

Here is a pic of me #1 took yesterday:


Are you wondering what I was looking at? Here:


Yes, I get a pretty good ringside seat to watch the Big V working!

At other times, I just look pretty:


And if the sun is shining, I glow!


It's wonderful to see #1 almost every day but I have to tell you that I feel a little sorry for her. You see, there is no mud in my field but there is one large muddy puddle just at the exit which is a little tricky to negotiate when you have a large mare at the end of the lead rope, and poor #1 has fallen right into the puddle twice in the last week… She is trying to figure out a better way and Ms. S promised to come over and helped her with that. Ms. S always comes to our rescue!


Vidock: Studly Neighs, Everyone! I have been working on my canter:



#1 says I am looking lighter and lighter on my feet:


And here I am, in hand with my teacher. Don't you think he looks proud of me?

  2. Violette, these are amazing photos of you! I'm glad you've settled into your new home (even if #1 is still getting used to it!), and that Vidock is doing so well with his training!

  6. Tu es très belle dans le soleil Violette. Mais fais attention, sois gentille avec ta #1 quand tu sors de ton pré. Les bains de boue tout habillée ... pas vraiment génial !
    Quand à Vidock, je me répète, mais tu es vraiment de plus en plus beau.
    Bonne soire.

  8. Oh Violette...indeed you DO look pretty when you're not doing things. You look pretty DOING things! Violette, you and Vidock look like a million! It is always a joy to see you two and learn about your schooling and wheat you are doing. I wonder what can be done about that awful mud puddle though?

  16. We're happy you are both on the same farm too! The colour of the light in Violette's photo's give them sort of a mystical quality. Yay for the green grass. Vidock looks very proud
    and manly.... and so handsome.

  18. Lovely and gorgeous, as always... We're happy that you are in the same farm and that #1 can visit you every day. Mum ask us to tell #1 that the neighbor farm had the same problem with the zone trampled by the cows which was transformed into pool of mud. He made pour a good thickness of wooden shavings to remedy it. It is not too expensive and pleasant for hoofs and paws. Purrs
