Horse pics and non-horse pics

[summer_jackel]

Some random pics of my 3 horses and myself. And one that I am particularly proud of: my friend Jon's brand new tattoo, which I designed a lot of. I think it came out really well.





My cute baby, Dancer. :D He REALLY needs a prettier halter. (well, he has a show halter that looks absolutely dashing on him, but not for casual use. And he'll probably be grown out of this one anyway in a couple of months, so). He won his first show in conformation a couple weeks ago. I am proud of him.



And Tami Sue. She's starting to look old, but she's 21 this year, so I guess that's ok.


I think this is a lovely picture.


Bey being mellow and grazing:


Chris thought I looked pretty and shot this picture:


and the tattoo!!!!!!! I designed the tree, another artist designed the fire. It was originally going to be solid black, but I'm glad he decided on shading. This is the third tat I've drawn: the one on me, the one on Chris, and now Jon's. I'm pleased.
Oh, and why a burning tree? Well, it has a lot of symbolism to Jon, part of which is that he's a Forest Service firefighter, and that has been quite the experience.

Beautiful - the horses, tattoo, and you :) I love the name Bey <3

Thank you, m'lady!
I love the Bey names, too...a certain line of Arabians carries 'em. Started with the great sires Bey Abi, Bey Shah and Huckleberry Bey. My horse Bey Breeze is a daughter of Boston Bey who is a son of Bey Shah. She's not full Arab of course (mom was Arab/paint, thus her pretty spots) but she is 3/4.

I'm amazed and amused that you retain your ability to shut your eyes during photographs. :)
