I went hunting for strays this weekend. It was cold, and the search was fruitless. But it’s always fun to ride Patches because he’s oh-so-darn smart. And he’s huge! It’s like climbing aboard a locomotive. For all his hugeness though, he has a great attitude and could really become some horse.
The only horse I've been on that's bigger than Patches was a draft horse. I know I have short legs, but my stirrups don't even reach past his belly!
Here's a better shot of where my stirrup hits him.
Patch's ears.
This photo goes on my list of favorites. Love his intelligent eyes
