My view this morning from the kitchen window!
Nearly every president has been at least photographed on a horse. Many were horsemen, others not so much. I love this photo of Teddy Roosevelt:

See other horses with their president here.
My friend, Kim, worked in the George H.W. Bush White House. She recently sent this article to me about his White House horseshoe pit.
Our horses may not be presidential but we have plenty of horseshoes for the pit.
Happy Presidents’ Day! (Just in case you were wondering about the day’s significance, read about it here.)

Well, as you know, a President definetly looks more manly to the voters if he’s atop a horse versus popping his head out of a tank. The one common factor to them all, as I see it anyway, is there ability to shovel manure onto the voters come election time as if they was born an’ bred in a barn . Of course that’s only one man’s opinion. 🙂
Who doesn’t look more manly on a horse?!
Gotta love a big raw boned Thoroughbred and I love how Mr. Roosevelt is looking right at the camera as he’s taking that jump!
Thanks for the links.

p.s. Your horses may not be “presidential” but I would bet my saddle they’d be a safer ride through the rocks and sage brush than any of those other past Presidential mounts!
He was working it for the camera, eh?
Yes, our horses are definitely trusty steeds, for sure!
Love your kitchen view. I think of Alice Walker’s book title “Horses Make a Landscape More Beautiful” – so true!
It is so true!
What a gorgeous view from your kitchen window!
Especially when the horses are in view!
If I had a view like yours out my kitchen window, I would probably never get anything done!

Once they saw sweet feed being poured they were gone!
I’m afraid my comment here isn’t about your latest blog. I don’t know how to make a general comment on folks wordpress blog site so I picked your latest blog to say something to you.
Congratulations on your ABC award! Here’s what I posted on TBN’s site.
“Thanks for the nomination my friend! I’m glad ‘real ranch wife’ was nominated too. I enjoy her blog. It reminds me of yours as both of you open your lives up to others in good wring and pictures. I’m a green horn blogger compared to the other writers you’ve chosen!”
You are kind! I’m as green as you with blogging. We all just try to catch our own stride, right?
And, congrats to you, too!
Opps, I meant ‘writing’ not wring!
What a wonderful view you have…love you photos!
Thanks Janis! I love seeing all the fences and water and so on from so many people around the world! Thanks for giving us a place to share!
what a wonderful sight to start the day with!!
It is definitely fun!
Oh, they look cold….
Cold? Nah! They are happy and healthy. Sometimes, when it snows, you will see them running and playing like little kids.
what a great view. it’s nice to see them enjoying life. being horses… how can a girl get lonely seeing that. And, to hear Kim’s experience in the White House… one can only imagine. Mr. Bush in his younger years was quite a handsome guy. I’m sure he sat on horse nicely.
You are probably right about that!
