So I needed order two new big round bales of hay for the barn critters and I stopped in and chatted with Farmer R.. Part of the talk went like this..
R: So have your ridden your new horse yet?
FG: No, had Farmer T on her once, and DH has been up on her bareback but I am waiting till I get my new saddle to start riding her.. Just been ground working her, so that when I do ride her, we will have gotten alot worked out between us.
R: She sure is a BIG! Horse.. had someone say to me.. that is one BIG horse.. and I said.. ya but FG is a BIG girl.. I explained to him, that you don’t want to ride a little horse..
FG.. LOL, yup that’s a good way to look at it, plus I want to use her for draft work as well..
R: yup.. she would be able to do that.. shakes head, and winks.. BIG Horse..
Ok, so clearly she has made the local gossip talk, and I just had to laugh that R was defending by explaining that I needed a big boned gal.. Didn’t point out that I liked big horse even when I was younger and much fitter!
Just another Day on the Farm 
Great to know you’re on Ye Olde Country Grapevine, hey? (Nothing worse than someone who hasn’t enough work to do; )
Nice picture!!
I get you there, big horses are usually more laid back, there’s more to love and, lets face it, are comfier to sit on. :oP
Aw yes, Gossip
Thanks for the chuckle as well
The big horses are the better ones, imo, especially the Drafts. I do have 1 exception though — I absolutely LOVE the Paso Fina, even though they’re way too primpy to live in my world, I certainly admire their special style.
