After having lunch at The Olive Garden with Anita of Blue Country Magic a couple of weeks ago I headed home.
I spied this gorgeous creature standing just inside their gate immediately next to the road.
No place to pull over and I could see another vehicle approaching in my side view mirror so stopped, snapped from within my SUV and drove away.
The pasture below looked quite soggy from the deluge of rain we had just been given by Mother Nature so I guess the small paved area where the horse stood was the only dry spot in the house so to speak.
Or perhaps he was just wanting to chat with passers by.
But I doubt it, since he was giving us all a butt shot and not a
'hey how ya doin' wave'.
It's been a couple of years since I've shown you this little farm barn,
and even though it's looking a little bit worse for wear on the outside, I'll bet it's warm and dry on the inside.
Just sharing a bit of Rural-ness with you as hosted by
Won't you join them today for Rural Thursday?

don't you hate when you want to stop for a pic and someone else has to be coming along up the road?! where is this barn?
Smart horse. I wish we had a dry patch for Zip - he's developed thrush in one of his hooves from all the rain, and although I'm treating it it isn't healing well because he's standing in wet patches all day long!
Barn and Butt shot . . . Great vews!
Drive by shooting sometimes produces the best photos. Great pictures.
What a handsome horse.. looks like a Belgian Draft. Nice barn too....
I love the way the cow is looking at him like, "is it our turn yet?"
sweet horse, neat barn ...
What wonderful shots, that horse is beautiful! I'm loving that cow shot, I love cows too! Beautiful country!
I love horses...I wonder what type of draft horse this guy is???
What gets me in the barn photos is the rolling green hill!
It never fails when we slow down to look at something that another car comes up on your rear end and they are always in a hurry! Looks like you got your shot, though. ~Patti
I simply love draft horses with those humongous hooves. Great shots Di and thanks for sharing with us at RT. xoxo
Great shots! Glad you were in the right place at the right time!
Gorgeous looking horse! The barn is fantastic! That's a beautiful scene.
You are right..he was worth stopping for.
The barn..well, I never saw a barn I didn't like, even when they are falling down..leaning..whatever!
p.s. Wanna strawberry? :)
Nothing quite like a rural view. I hate it when I want to stop for a picture and someone is driving up behind me. What gives with that
Nice Di! The barn looks great with all the lush green color.
I agree that's not the friendliest posture, but he's a beaut:@)
Maybe the old guy, or gal was just a bit bashful. Anyway, he's a looker. Love, love the old barn. Oh the stories it could tell. Visiting from Rural Thursday. Now a new follower.
Hugs,
Jann
