Horses, Horses and More Horses (A Horse PhotoBlog)

Hi Everybody!  This is my miniature horse, Yankee Doodle Dandy. He wants to welcome all our new friends to Texas!  I have a Horse Blog Happening going on tonight for You!  You get to see horse ranches (and horses), the greatest horse race ever, a bucking bronco, a grand champion bareback rider and The Ellen Degeneres of the Ellen Show riding a horse!!!  A champion horse, Shining Star. And a champion horseman, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling and two music/videos tributes to Dan Fogelberg.

I grew up in Texas around horse country!  I wanted a horse for years and when I was 16, Daddy got me the Palomino named Charly. I fell in love with Charly and he fell in love with me. I rode Charly bareback and bridleless most of the time. I did the barrel racing and racing with my local friends. Charly was not a racehorse, but we won most races.  A horse is a wonderful animal and once he bonds with you, it is the most special relationship you can imagine. I know most of my new friends in other countries most likely do not own horses or even get to ride. I want to share what love of a horse is like. I want my friend Akio in Japan to have a great show for his friends to see from his cowgirl friend in Texas!! By the time you finish our little horse tour, You will Love Horses, too!

Let the Show Begin!!  Just push play and sit back and relax!
