New Horses!!
Sal & Bobbi Porto Horses!!
Sadie, registered name "Silver Cow Hand" had a little Buckskin filly in
April'09 by Rumba of Pine View Ranch.  These pictures were taken in
August'09 at the Ocala pasture where we first saw them.  I originally went to
look at a Paint mare.  Sal told me to go ahead and get that Paint mare if I
reeeeeally wanted her. :)  I ended up liking these two, so I got him one too.  
They knew each other and you can't just keep one horse!  On the way home I
told Sal I didn't get the Paint.  He sighed relief.  Then I told him I got 2, I
got him one.... He said very blankly, "What?" LOL!
Me at 12 on my first horse I SO
cherished... Katie.. My sister,
Claudia and her college roommate
Marsha standing in front.  1969
We, the club members at Mr Ed's
Riding Club, rode every horse the
public could not ride.  We had
campouts, hayrides, initiations,
dances and it was one of the best
times in my life.
My first horse I bought myself in 1981 at 8 days
old.  She was a Quarter Horse I named Skip's
Naughty Babe by Skipaton out of Sue's Sugar
Babe.  She was my baby and would follow me
anywhere.  When I got on her back as a 2 1/2
years old bareback with a halter and lead rope,
she turned around and looked at me and then
did whatever I asked her to.  
She was also priceless!!
She is pictured at 2 years old with my sister,
Claudia.
Aug '09 - Now Sal and I have horses!!  
Sal thinks he has that forgetful disease.
 He can't remember saying he needed a
horse.  Every now and then he will say,
"Who are you?" LOL!  But he needed
one!! His horse, Bunnie, loves him.
Bunnie is originally from Colorado and has frost-bit ears.  Her registered
name is "Magenta Skiparray".  She could be the poster girl fro the AQHA.
She rounds up my boy goat and makes him scratch her.
Here is Sadie looking in at me.  She rubbed
her butt on this window the first week and
broke it.  I can see her a lot better now with a
new window and no screen!
Here they are helping Sal put up a fake hotwire.  
They are both very curious and sweet.
Sadie is looking at me through my
sunroom windows waiting for a dinner.
If I'm slow she comes right up to the glass.
12-09 - Sadie did it again.  She wasn't scratching
this time... we took off the screan... but at 5am she
tried to fit her 3' butt under the 18" eve to get out of
the rain.  

Sal hollered, Sadie ran to her other shelter nickering
all the way and I had to tell Sal AGAIN to please get
the dogs out AND shut the door AND get shoes on.  

As he was playing with the black garbage bags and
shouting, I told him to just get ready for work and I'd
take care of it. LOL!  And I thought I was bad before
coffee. tee hee

Here are the monsters a couple days later.  I've
ordered extra thick tempered glass.  I love to have
them hanging out with me when I'm on the
computer... just inside this window. :)

I keep telling Sal that just because my horse did it
first, doesn't mean she did it this time!  It might have
been his...
