Two little Alpine wether goats. They're brothers, twins, Pendragon is the one standing in this picture, Arthur is the one laying down. Arthur is a bit smaller then his brother.
We originally got them to keep my horse company and to help keep the pasture down since they eat things the horse doesn't find to tasty. Some time next summer I want to use them to help us clear land for my rabbit barns. They'll get to eat to their heart's content, and I'll get nice clean land ready for me to build on.
This is my 22 year old Appaloosa/Welsh Mountain pony. His name is Sparky. He's got the stubbornness and smarts of the Appaloosa, and the strength of the Mountain Pony.
He's a good little horse, at this point in his life though I consider him more of a pet horse then much else. I once told someone he's like an over grown puppy dog. He gets love, pets, treats, food and doesn't have to work for it. He was green broke when I got him and I could never get him fully trained so he just kinda hangs around. He likes it, I like it, it works well for both of us.
Pretty much this is the end of the long awaited post of the boys, so I'll end it with a picture of Arthur in front of the barn from this summer.
