I realize that I do not have that many common visitors, but I want to try something here. So if you're looking at this, please finish reading this! :) Thank you.
Now, what I'd like to do is have a little Q/A game where someone comments and asks a question (about anything horsey-but please realize it will be reviewed and removed/edited if need be), and then someone else answers it! Really simple, just use the little comment box right down there. ⬇
I'll probably be the one to answer the questions, but I would *love* for someone else to pitch in as well. Hopefully this will get me some more readers. So, +1, comment, and let's start the game. =)

Some Statistics
Here are some very interesting statistics for this blog! Let's start with the location (and it's only for unique visitors- it doesn't count the same IP address twice).
- 38 visits from the United States
- 1 visit from Egypt
- 1 visit from United Kingdom
- 1 visit from Japan
- 1 visit from Philippines
- 1 visit from Slovenia
- 39 English-US
- 1 Arabic
- 1 English
- 1 English-Great Britain (or en-gb.... Am I right that it means "Great Britain"?)
- 1 Japanese
And, just for fun let's throw in some other neat facts and the most used browsers and to view this (awesome?) blog, as well. Let's start with the most common used browsers.
- 72.09% Chrome (yay!)
- 16.28% Firefox
- 9.30% Safari
- 2.33% Internet Explorer
So, great job to almost everyone for using Chrome! Personal note- I find it rocks. ;) Here's a bit of an overview to finish off this post:
Visits: 43 (this is per IP address, so multiple visits do not count)
Average Visit Duration: 2 minutes, 37 seconds (any way to improve this? :\)
32.56% New Visitors
67.44% Returning Visitors
So, I guess that'll be it! Also, the breed-of-the-week thing will now be breed-of-the-month. ;) Thanks for reading, +1, share, and all that!

Horsey Terms
Today we'll be going over the horses' world (or should it be the horse peoples' world?) of terms and sayings. I'll just leave it as a list, and you can read through and memorize what you can.
- Filly - a female foal
- Colt - a male foal
- Foal - a baby horse within the age range of newborn-weanling
- Weanling - a horse within the ages of about 5-6 months through 1 year
- Yearling - a horse that's 1 year old
- Adolescent - a horse that's 2 to about 4 years old
- Mare - female horse
- Gelding - a castrated (unbreedable) male horse
- Stallion - a male horse
This is just the basic list, and I'll see if I can have a more advanced one later. If you have any questions about words I've been using to talk about horses, just ask in a comment.

New Foal - Dove
Another new foal has arrived! This miniature filly has been on the ground since early this morning! Her name is Dove and she's chestnut.
Bunny is her dam (pictured below with her); a bay or brown silver dapple. The sire was Beeg, a palomino. Possibly Dove has inherited the silver dapple allele from Bunny; only breeding will tell.
