Dakota's First Pics
There's nothing in this world quite so special as your first
horse.  They're such noble creatures, no other animal comes
close.

this is Dale's first "child", Dakota.  She's so tiny, especially
compared to Max, I sometimes wonder how she carries Dale
all over the place like she does.  But carry him, she does!  
The pics on this page were taken at Lake Arrowhead, just
outside of town, on one of our outings.
Dale with Dakota, Susan with Max -
this is the usual pairing on riding days.
 Note the difference in size between
Dakota & Max.
You might notice the rather odd-looking rains in Dakota's pictures.  We're all of the opinion
that Dakota is a bit young for a bridle & bit - especially Dale.  He made a "hackamore" out of
one of her halters and she rides just fine with it.  It might look like he's holding her rather
tightly but in reality there's almost no pressure on her face.
The picture above is no
optical illusion.  You're
seeing Dakota, actually
leaning on Dale.  It was
the last picture of the
day, taken after a full
afternoon of walking all
over the place and she was
BEAT!
These pictures were
taken from quite a
distance away using a
long lense.  The white
"glare" in the
background is the lake,
with the sun reflecting.
