34 second video of Star running across the field to join her sisters:

That nose looks like absolute velveteen--so soft. Star’s—not yours.

One fine horse

It won't last, she is a mud puppy . She likes mud, Lori likes brushing her.

All that brushing is paying off!

Progress continues with the "mudpuppy" Star

What a cool horse... I kinda wish I had a horse for some of the desert & mountain trails round here, but alas, I don't have the money to keep one. My one & only sis is BIG on horses, a good rider too, but she's better off than I am financially, yeah? And I know it costs money to keep a horse nowadays... back in the Old West, I guess a rider could've let the horse graze in the field, and give it some grain in town or wherever, but those days seem to be over, more's the pity. I think I would've fared better in life as a rider in the Old West, living off the land as I rode until I found a nice little mountain valley in NM or AZ... instead, I get my horsepower by twisting a throttle, lol. But at least I'm looking over cool mountain ranches when I ride... the folks who own those spreads got it going on, and I can't blame 'em or envy 'em for doing what's right. As an aside, I always cut my motor and give horses the right of way on any trails I'm riding... it's the right thing to do, and I'm not in that big of a hurry anyway, not when I can sit and watch the Old West in "real time."

Yeah, Lori is the Horse whisperer, I am a scooter guy. That pig does not go offroad.

 

[Wingnut]

You could probably buy some knobbies for the scooter...

It's a fat pig, and even worse with me on it.

Now if I could find a tweetsie, we would have something. Short legs just ruin everything

 

[Wingnut]

I'm behind the times... what the heck is a "tweetsie?"

 

[dademoss]

Yamaha TW200, I have short stumpy legs

 

[Wingnut]

Oh, okay... those are cool bikes, the fat-tired TW200s. I wouldn't mind having one for riding at Red Sands OHV Area, those fat tires would be perfect for the venue!

Someone here in Alamo has a TW200, I've seen it parked in front of WallyWorld. I also met a rider with a TW200 up in the mountains, he was an airman from Holloman AFB... we talked for a few minutes, as riders will on the trail.

Oh, yeah, don't sweat the short stumpy legs, we can't ALL be runway models, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Star looks fairly tall, gonna need a picture of you riding her!

 

[dademoss]

14.2 hands, she just made the cut to "horse". I'm happy just holding the "keys", but someday, maybe maybe, you will see a picture of me on her.
