Hi - I really like the idea of planting two new trees. Who knows that the remaining grand oak might not be lost in a storm in the near future, too. Benches are nice, but to keep in mind it encourages people to traipse through the crops during growing season and might get in the way of harvesting, which might annoy the farmer. -Ona

Twin Oaks Field loses a grand oak: We need your opinion!
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK! Poll ends February 28th, 2013. The loss of one of the massive twin oaks in the view shed from Route 41 south of Hotchkiss has generated a remarkable amount of interest and suggestions from the public. The board of the Sharon Land Trust has listened to resident’s opinions ...
Thanks, Nicole. I haven't had much time for this blog lately, so it's fun to post something kind of wild and so unusual.
I'll make sure http://checkoutthishorse.blogspot.com is on the blogroll, too - I always enjoy it!

Beautiful harnesses at the St. Alfio festival
This post features details of the bridles and harnesses of the horses at the St. Alfio festival in Sicily, which reader Al Zammataro was kind enough to send me. This harness is a very old one, with well-preserved gold embroidery:
I do believe you are right, Natalie! Don't know why I didn't name it in the original post. It is one of the variations of Appaloosa people are least likely to recognize, because they are expecting spots. It's one of my favorite colors, actually.
I've heard it called Varnish, Varnish Roan and even Marble!

Not quite roan, II
This horse has roaning (mixture of white hairs into a darker coat color), but it is neither a blue roan, black roan or sabino. It is actually a variation on the Appaloosa pattern. The Appaloosa Horse Club describes it: "A horse exhibiting the Appaloosa roan pattern develops a lighter colored ...
Hi Annie - sure I will. I'll email them to you, since they aren't as interesting or attractive as the fronts. Give me a day or two... :)

Beaded Horseshoes
I've always liked the idea of decorated horseshoes, though I've never tried to decorate one myself until recently. These are two shoes from my mare who died over the winter. I decorated them in very different styles. The first is wrapped in gold-colored ribbon, then wrapped in red thread with c...
Thanks, Chris! I had half a mind to ask the farrier for some more old shoes. But I think I'll wait til winter when I have more time stuck in the house.

Hi Connie - I forwarded your comment and email address to Erica, so she can reply to you if she wishes.

Reader Question: Gaited Breed Origins, Part 3
So having concluded that we cannot know for sure the origins of the Galloway or Narragansett Pacer, we return to Erica's story of her quest for the perfect horse, and her discovery of the Rocky Mountain Horse, and the possible origins of the Rocky Mountain Horse in the gaited breeds now long-los...
That's an interesting suggestion. There are a whole lot of gray Percherons,
but also a lot of black ones (many of the show ring hitches in the US use
all black Percherons). But if I'm going to make that argument maybe I should
remove the Kladruber, because it comes in black and gray also. I'm of two
minds about the Lippizan, too, because if I recall the "rare" colors are
somewhat more common in Hungary, for example, than Austria. I've seen a herd
with a black Lippizan and a couple of bays. So they aren't "flukes" like a
chestnut Friesian. What do you think?
Then I can do a post about horses that only come in two colors. :D

One Color Horses
Some breeds of horses come predominantly in only one color; some are required to be a certain color. There seem to be two main reasons for this. In some cases the breed has traditionally lived in a wild state, somewhat isolated, and either maintains a wild color like dun (the Sorraia), or has...
