YES!!! So much for looking for them in the mornings. They showed up yesterday afternoon in the dunes to the side of the house! I leaped up and ran out there to see them! I’d just taken the dogs for a walk in the surf and a big wave had surprised me and gotten my clothes wet. I had taken my shorts off and put them in the laundry, so I was waiting for the dryer to be done…..
And yes, you know where this is going. I had no pants on. THIS DID NOT STOP ME from running outside with my camera, despite the fact that there were other people around. I DID NOT CARE. There were wild horses, people! Wild horses! This is the baby.
There were four of them, three adults and one baby. They stayed in the dunes to the side of the house quite a while, chomping on the grasses, then strolled out toward the beach road between the homes. I was able to get pretty close to this one.
My daughter, who takes horseback riding lessons, was thrilled. Here she is trying to creep up to one of them.
When they were done at our house, they wandered off down the beach road to look for more grass……..
And I went inside to put pants on.:mrgreen:

Are these the Misty of Chincoteague horses? I remember reading that book as a child and thought it was so cool.

strangely, the horses look like they are posing, they must be used to getting photos taken,….

How cool! :hyper:
And I wasn’t at all surprised to find you pantless. At this point, I’d be shocked to find you fully clothed! :rotfl:

Obviously you should just go pantsless more often.

OMG! The horses are beautiful! I’ve been a horse lover since I was a little girl…wanted one in my backyard, but unfortunately, we lived in the city, so my parents vetoed that idea real quick. LOL.

They’re so pretty!!! And they immediately reminded me of Misty of Chincoteague (though I think that was in Virginia… ah, after checking the atlas, yes it is). Anyway. Bet they’re the same type of horses. 🙂
And I’m not the slightest bit surprised you went out without any pants. :rotfl:

Awww, Emma took my line! I’m not surprised you had your pants off – so I guess next time you want something, you’ll just take your pants off?:wigglebrow:

Ohhhh, FABULOUS! I headed over to your blog thinking, “I wonder if Suzanne has seen her wild horses yet?”. And you did! How wonderful!

Lori says:
Yeah!! You got to see the horses. Now you need to log in the guestbook that the best way to convince them to visit is to run around pantless.

:bananadance: Yippee! You saw them! I’m so pleased for you. I’d love to see them too. I still have a whole bunch of children’s horse stories.
It would have been so 🙁 if you hadn’t seen them. I bet it made your day or even week. Are they really smaller than the average horse? I really love those pictures.

Congrats on seeing the horsies! But I’m beginning to see a disturbing trend with the lack of pants. Hmmm…
