Great pictures! The horse you daughter is riding looks just like one of the horses I use to have. I had to get rid of them because I could no longer care for them. There was Jake (he looked just like yours), Arishna (a pure bred arabian), and Surprise (Arishna's filly). I loved them all and have for years kept a photo of them in my wallet much as you might keep pictures of your kids in your wallet.

Jake ran like the wind but was a little bit skittish. At the slightest sound he would take off running if you didn't hold him back real hard.

Arishna was a gentle as a lamb, you had to really work to get her to go any faster then a slow walk. She acted more like a puppy than a horse and had an unofficial name of hudini because she would get out of the paddock almost every day. (I think she was crawling under the fence somehow. Quite often we would find her waiting on the back porch for her morning feed. I think if she had ever figured out how to open the door she would have been waiting in oue kitchen.

Surprise got her name because when we bought Arishna she was pregnant but no one knew it. Even so-called horse experts didn't think she was pregnant..but I always knew it despite what they said. When she was born my wife had gone put to feed the horses in the morning and there was an extra 4 legs in the stall. At first she thought somehow a deer got into the stall as she was the perfect color for a deer.

Wow, sounds like you've got some great memories as well as great horses and girls!
What memory-movies you can play back in your head, flying over Alaska, seeing all that beauty, and doing it all under your own power!

I try to remember my mountain climbing like that, plus I have all the pictures I took while I was doing it.  I guess it would be hard to take pictures while flying...

I hope your memories are as beautiful as the pictures you've posted.  All that beauty is good for the soul.

Hi, I loved your pics.  Those are some beautiful Horses and your girl looks like a natural.  My Dad raises El Pasa Fino. He has about 19 he said at the last count.  When my brothers were young they used to have to help Dad with the horses.  Matt, the clown of the twins, ask me if I wanted to take one home.  I told him I couldn't fit it in the car.  He said don't be surprised if you get home and find one horse tied in the trunk.!

Off topic but I believe you live in Alaska.  I have a first cousin who lives outside Fairbanks.

Have a great holiday season
