GOOD FENCES - Horses

Recently my bird group went to the Quoile Pondage and below is when we called in at their Countryside Centre and later on our way to the hide we spotted these horses with foals more of which you will see this Saturday.  





I am linking this post with GOOD FENCES.

I have now found out about these ponies and will add more informatin about them on this Saturday's post but in the meantime I can tell you they are Konik ponies and they are 2 filly's called Eostre, and Eimear and they are only yearlings so they have a lot of growing to do yet. The foal is still to be named as yet.

Thanks for your visit today and also to all those who leave comments.

    1. I suspect they are yearlings and a foal and they will grow a fair bit. Highland ponies is my guess from their heads and mane. These are not powerful enough as they are, I will ask the experts but the ones I know are more into massive beasts like Clydesdales or three day eventers. The former are lovely gentle creatures the latter are for the most part 'Special Needs.'

    2. PS. The colour is I think called Bay but I just guess when working with them; Light brown, painted, dark brown, black, grey etc. Proper horse folk have special names.

  11. Cute faces staring through the fence ... makes the fence somewhat irrelevant if it weren't posted on "Good Fences". I have no idea what breed they are but they are indeed gorgeous. And I love the stone fece as well ... Very nice, Margaret ...

  15. The pony color is dun, not bay which is darker. Hard to tell exactly which breed of pony this is. It could be Connemara, or perhaps Moor Pony, but they don't look at all like Shetland, a common pony breed. They are lovely, and that mare would love you to bring her a treat.
