Fabulous Friday

On a scale of one to ten, today was about a one hundred... absolutely spectacular and so serene. Funny, but I had a strong feeling that we'd see horses on our way to choosing a spot; and we did. Then, during our late afternoon ride, we experienced three more sightings. It was incredible to see the mare and her offspring in the dunes. We stayed for the longest time, watching the foal nurse. Momma gave Baby a nudge with her hoof, when she decided that they needed to wander back into denser territory. Amazing.

The Corolla horses are just magnificent. If you'd like to learn more about them, please visit this link. Of Spanish heritage, they've managed to retain their unique features, such as compact size, gorgeous colors and long manes. Each time we spot one, it is a thrill all over again.
