Dad's Horses

My dad has two horses, Sven and Bonnie.

.

Here comes Bonnie, after I called for her at the fence.

.

She may look like a regular horse, but the only thing full-sized about Bonnie is her attitude.

.

.
See, here she is next to Sven. She's a mini!

.

Sven is a Norwegian fjord horse. Here he is, sizing me up. Do I pass?

.

These two are buddies.

And, not to be left out, there's Maggie, their dog.

I love when dogs reach middle age. Maggie's finally past the manic stage of puppyhood. She's a sweetheart now. She loves to be petted, and she gets full-on hugs from my nieces and nephew.
