Million Dollar Pet Pix

Xili (rhymes with silly) is one of our herd of horses that has become my favorite. We have 20 horses and ponies, some of which we board for other people.

This lovely animal is very smart and energetic. Xili gets lots of exercise from all the trekking we do on weekends when I am off work. A group of us go to the hills around our farm and across the creek into the big pastures there. We always bring picnic lunches and our swim suits. I bring my sketch book too. I exercise Xili a little each night as well, but only for about half an hour.

Xili likes to jump ditches and fences so we always have to watch out when riding as we never know what might happen. No time for dozing when out with wild and crazy Xili.   Snooze and you can find yourself on your backside in the mud, or a creek in a flash! This has happened to me more than once.
