Related: About this forumFriday's Horses
Back at the old farm we had a brood mare called Misty. Barn name Mama.
She was Maddie's mother.

And Pete's.

Altogether Misty gave us nine babies. I don't know names, but here are
some others. She was a wonderful Mama.










Misty was a fine and fun old lady.

We appreciate you.

Wonderful pics. They would put peanut butter in his (actually hers) mouth to make it look like talking.

Those long-legged youngsters are adorable. Their mother is gorgeous and seems to radiate warmth of heart across all the years. Its magic how your images captured and preserved and conveyed the warmth into the present and to this far-flung community. Thank you, George. Such a welcome respite from the chaos of the news.
