Winning Mares and the Unwanted

Well, here they are.... the winning mares of the bunch...


That bottle of peroxide paid off for #28! She scored a number of votes for her flashy flaxen mane....


Number 2 got a lot of action despite a crooked blaze and hairy ears- proving that there is beauty in her imperfections....



#21 stood out if for no other reason than appearing indifferent to the madness around her....Why does she remind me of Eeyore?

#4 for hit the mark with her fancy silver number and cute perky ears....



Now I have to include #21 even though she didnt get enough votes to qualify for the top four simply because a face like this cant be ignored.... and I'm the boss... of this blog, anyways...


But what of those that didn't receive a single vote?... those poor, sad, helpless mares who cried "Pick me! Pick me!" but failed to find a single taker... For each lonely soul who pleaded with their big, soft doey eyes.... as if trying to say, "I am a good girl... I'll be sweet and love you too... just give me a chance... I'll give you my heart forever...."
Let us take a moment to look on the forgotten faces of the unclaimed mares...

Look at that eye... pleading for a soft word of comfort....

A gentle stroke on a downy muzzle....


A soothing rub to calm her frayed nerves....

Just look in to those deep, dark, soulful eyes....

And tell me she is not begging for love... for someone to whisper "Shhhh... easy there mare... goood girl."
But she will never hear those words...
Because she was among the forgotten ones.
She will remain unclaimed, unloved, unwanted....
And that, my friends, is why I do not go to auctions....
Bleeding- freakin'- heart:)

Which Mare Is Yours?



I am sorry I havent yet been able to finish my last post in the Girl Friend Talk series... I know you all must be on the edge of your seat, just dyin' to read what's comin' next...


*crickets*


And so I hope you wont mind that I decided to play a little game instead....


You see Ree over at the Pioneerwoman.com posted this picture a few days ago of these mustang mares being brought in for weaning. I am in love with this photo! I have it as my screen saver right now and cant help but stop nearly every time I see it in order to pick out a new favorite mare... which is never easy because I could make a case for each and every single one of them.

Which got me to thinkin'.... wouldnt it be fun to see which mare all of you'd pick... which one jumps off the screen to say "Pick me! Pick me!"
And so I tried to number as many horses as I could (the ones that had a face) to make it easier.

My favorite (at the moment) is #5... There is something quiet in her posture, like she is aware of everything, but not stressed... interested but cautious and while she's willing to go with the flow for now, she's also not sold on the whole idea either. I'd bet that mare would have something to say about the situation... oh yes sir, she most certainly would.

Which hip number are you taking home?
