That picture is Gipsy Vanner/paint, Stormy; gray Arab, Annabelle; black quarter horse, Sammy; and chestnut Arab, Mariah. The black quarter horse is 29 years old and I have had him all his life. Mariah is 21 and I got her when she was 4. Stormy was born here, she is 4. Annabelle came when she was a yearling, she is 13. I have another 29 year old quarter horse that was my Dad's last horse, not pictured, and 2 horses that are 7 and 8 both born here, BoJangles and Buckshot. My pony is 14 and I've had him since he was 2.
They are our family. The horses, 4 chihuahuas, a jack russell, and 4 cats!

Cool! I love your family. I asked because I thought one or two were Arabians. My sister was once married to a Griffith; whose mom, Barbara Griffith, was one of the pioneers in importing the breed known as a Straight Egyptian Arabian (I believe she was the first). I remember visiting the farm with my sister and her daughters. Barbara's horses were beautiful. Most of the Arabian horses here in the States most likely come from offspring of her horses. She died this past October. Well, I love your horses. And that is why I asked. Just reminiscing.
