Old McDonald had a farm

and on this farm he had horses

Horses
This is Baylor's horse, Sweettart. We just recently named her. Dusty and his siblings have had the Mare for years. They have been offered lots of money for her. When I say lots, I mean lots. Like "seriously, you can't part with her" lots. He says she is "priceless". Whateva!! But, she is starting to show her age so Dusty wanted to breed her a couple of times to get some pint size mine-mes out of her for the kids. Because if you ask him, you just don't find ropin' smarts in every horse.

So she had Shorty first, he has spunk and a bad attitude most of time. Then her next baby was stillborn. It broke our hearts and we couldn't put her through it anymore but he had also breed Shorty to Senorita (are you confused yet, no they aren't related) and whatda ya know we got another mini mare. Sweettart has the best personality super sweet and loving. She LOVES the kids.
Horses
Sweettart on the left, she is Baylor's. Shorty or the right, he is Brier's.

Drover
and then there is Drover. He is OCD and my shadow. He takes every step I do. He once followed me all the way to the college. He is like having another kid. When Brier and Baylor are wrestling for who I'm going to pick up and hold, Drover joins in pushing them out of the way, assuming I might really pick him up and hold him. But he is a serious watch dog and I like that right now.

We will have a whole other blog post about our kittens we have later.

My question is, how the heck do you take care of all these animals?! I'm sure they help keep the kids entertained well though.
