Dapples!

As Alfie sheds out, he's got dapples!!  He's turning into quite the the polka dotted pony.

Alfred Davis

Alfie is the latest edition to the herd.  His papered name is Alfred Davis and he is a registered Haflinger.  He looks bigger but he's only 14 hands.  What a personality and quite the pocket pony.  He rides and has been driven single, double and three across plus he's been used for logging.

Unfortunately for us, Cowboy didn't work out like we hoped but he has moved on to a trail riding life and we wish him well.

Playing with Texture

I was totally bummed out when I found out that my favorite photo editor, Picnik, was closing.  In the e-mail that I received, there were some suggestions for alternate photo editors.  One of them was PicMonkey, which was created by some former engineers at Picnik.  I was so happy that I found this!!  I have been experimenting with the effects and the textures available.  The photo from Sunday Stills was done using the paint texture.

I love how sometimes editing can completely transform a photo!
