Ranch Shekinah

Magic

 

 

My show and tell for this week is two-fold.  #1 - It's a show of our cutie-pie colt, Magic.  He's a dream come true for us.  From the conception of our horse ranch, it was my desire to breed beautiful Modern Haflingers.  All of our mares have top-rate blood lines.  We have a favorite stallion (Major Commander of Maple Lane Farms in Shipshewana, Indiana, Gerald and Darla) who also have excellent blood lines.    But, we desired a stallion of our own, here at Ranch Shekinah. 

.

.

I went looking for the perfect ranch stallion - I wanted: #1 Good blood lines, #2 A drop dead gorgeous Modern Haflinger #3 A beautiful mane and tail #4 A sweet disposition.  I did find one that met all of my requirements/wish-list.  Well, almost all of my requirements - his disposition was down right scary. He was also rather pricey.  I declined.

.

.

A year later, we "met" Magic, a colt bred from our favorite stallion in Shipshewana, Indiana.  His mother is Minnie who has one of the world's most awesome dispositions for a horse.  This excellent disposition was inherited by Magic.  He is the sweetest, calmest little guy one could ever meet.  He's like a cuddly teddy bear.  And the best part - since he was a 3 month old baby when we bought him, the price was right.

 .

.

But, like I said, this is a two-fold show and tell.  The second part of my show is the new button I've discovered on Photobucket.  The button that says, "Edit,"  - it creates its own "magic."    I've been having a lot of fun with it. Take a look:

Looks like a great pet to cuddle with. What a great time for your kids. I always loved the horses we had, and yet was very afraid of their size and power. Still think they are the most beautiful animals ever created!

Oh, he is a beauty! Or should I say he is handsome? Whichever, he is a fine horse! And wow, look how gentle he is! I hope he turns into the stallion of your dreams.

I love these photos. I'm not much of a horse expert, but Magic looks like a real winner to me

Magic is such a sweet looking colt! He does look like a big teddy bear. In looking at your pictures it looks like a lot of fun on your ranch.

He looks totally sweet. I'm so glad you were able to find just the perfect mixes of qualities you wanted in him. Your kids, too, are very fortunate to get to enjoy such beautiful and lovable horses.

Your daughter and Magic are soooo cute!!!

That's pretty much the conclusion I've come to too, if you want a really good horse, you have to get them really young or have them born on your property, before they pick up any nasty traits from somebody else's horses or a not-so-great previous owner. It looks like Magic will be a really super stud for your ranch.

About Me

Welcome to our ranch! Come, sit on our porch, have some tea, and stay a while. Were going to have a lot of fun chatting. Bring the kids, too, as we've got lots of room to play, horses to ride, cats and kitties to cuddle, gentle dogs to pet, and baby chickens to look at and hold. We can take trail rides around the alfalfa field, wade through the creek, take a paddle boat to the island on the lake, go fishing, or explore the Black Walnut Forest. There's no hurry around here. We'll just meander about and maybe even pack a picnic basket - Ranch Shekinah is abounding with Mulberry trees, wild blackberries and raspberries, an orchard of apple trees, and a herb garden.
