I found him on Dartmoor in Devonshire many years ago. He was a friendly enough fellow but I didn't get too close because they roam free on the moors and are semiferal (my camera had a zoom lens). You can read more about them at this link. Horses/ponies and their ilk are beautiful animals! I don't get a chance to be around them that often, so these memories that I have of my short time with them, are treasured memories.
Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.
I appreciate all who look at my blog, but I will not be publishing any businesses. If you are only able to publish anonymously, would you sign your name, and leave an addy so I can return your visit where possible? Thank you!
Was he on the Moors?
ReplyDeleteHe was Ginny, along with many more that we saw that day :)
DeleteA wonderful photo of this beautiful horse! I have respect for her, but I love her!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday! Hugs Elke
Thank you Elke and so glad you love her. I do too :) You have a lovely Sunday also. Hugs, Denise
DeleteHappy Sunday too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, and to you also :)
DeleteIt is quite doubtful that I will find myself in England again, but if I do, a visit to Dartmoor will be high on my list.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate to live near Dartmoor and went there as often as I could. I can highly recommend. It was always the first place I headed to on my trips back home :)
DeleteHorses are magnificent beasts and awfully big close up!
ReplyDeleteVery much so Janice :)
DeleteBeautiful horse! I love horses, but I have never owned one. Take care, have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, the same here :) You take care and have a wonderful week also.
DeleteHe's a beauty. They are majestic beasts.
ReplyDeleteCouldn’t agree more :) Thanks Jeanie!
DeleteWhat a wonderful picture of that beautiful creature. I've always liked horses.
ReplyDeleteMe too Ann :) They are marvelous aren’t they?
DeleteGreat shot! Happy Sunday to you, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen, you too :)
DeleteI once asked a horse if I could take its picture. It said Nay.
ReplyDeleteNow that made me laugh! A great way to start out the day on this snowy morning. Thank you :)
DeleteBeautiful horse

ReplyDeleteHe is and thank you so much Regine, Happy Sunday and God bless you too :)
DeleteI've heard there are many therapy horses too...
ReplyDeleteOH thank you for the info about birds eating ice for water. They were surely busy
picking away as sleet on my bird bath this morning.
Isn’t that wonderful? You are very welcome for the bird info. I am glad to pass these things on. :)
DeleteShe's sure a beauty!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more, thanks Sandie :)
DeleteI like seeing horses. I get the feeling they know things that we don’t know.
ReplyDeleteYou have a keen sense of things Linda. I have a feeling that you are right :)
DeleteGorgeous horse :-D
ReplyDeleteDenise you must come to visit Scotland one day soon, during summer would be best! :-D
He is I agree :) Thank you Ananka!
DeleteGreat image of the horse on Dartmoor.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverley, he is one of my favorite images :)
DeleteSuch a lovely horse.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I agree Jan, fell in love with him at first sight :) All the best to you too.
DeleteYes, I am such a horse lover. Not far from my house there is a ranch with a couple horses that I gaze at while driving to the creek. I remember my ride when I was younger riding a wild one. It was the ride of my life! haha I hope you have pleasant February days coming up, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great Sheri :) What a ride that must have been. There is a place not so far away where there are several in a field. They are used as therapy horses.
DeleteUy que lindo caballo , Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias, yo también lo pensé :) Te mando un beso.
DeleteHOw interesting that you have feral horses! That's really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie. It truly is a special place and one I have been going to since I was 8 years old, since my parents went on holidays there, and then later when they bought a home on the edge of the moors when my dad retired.
DeleteLovely animal and photo. Was he wild on the moors or did he have an owner?
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane and yes he was wild and roaming the moors.
DeleteExcellent shot with your zoomie lens. So fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivy, I appreciate that very much :)
