Old Leira

Most definatley old horse... you can tell by her fur... and foals also do not usually have such nice manes. Very beautiful. Well done :)
Cow use doge and burn for better results

haloe
I can say this is a very cute horse.Is it old or young ....it is beautiful

There's a lot of wisdom in those old eyes. I love the look of knowledge she has about her and the sky contrasting with the dark grass just makes this picture!
Voglio baciare lei!
I just wanna hug her.........
i love the sky its so many colors

Thank you everyone :)
Leira was the perfect model this morning, for just a sec. She doesnt like adults, so next time I will have to borrow a child to bring along, since she seems to like children for some reason.

@Stuck in Customs:
I find those just outside my door ;)

Being a horse freak, I've seen many pictures of horses in many positions. This is one of the nicest I've ever seen of a horse lying down (a terribly difficult shot in my experience).

Leira is lovely--& deserves her/his rest.

Icelandic ponies have an exceptionally long lifespan (comparatively speaking). A friend in Virginia cares for a 44-year-old I. pony (who does not at all enjoy hot weather (not sruprisingly)!
