2025 Thursday Trios: 18 December

Three Horses,

Three Riders,

One Trail Ride

As stated in my Monochrome Madness post, Coleman and I saw several horse owners at Anne Springs Close Greenway taking advantage of a beautiful afternoon to enjoy riding their horses on the trails.

I’m also linking this post to XingfuMama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge.

Here are a few of the horses and riders we saw visiting the Greenway taking advantage…

Visiting the Horses and Trails (at the Greenway)

Leanne’s Monochrome Madness

Whenever Coleman and I have the opportunity to visit Anne Springs Close Greenway we almost always (but not always) visit the horses. Coleman loves horses. The Anne Springs Close Greenway has five different entrances to the Greenway for hiking, mountain biking, or just visiting.

Goats at the Children’s Farm

Last Saturday, Coleman and I went to the Greenway Stables and Farm Entrance to visit the Farm animals and (of course) the horses.

We arrived late due to heavy traffic and congestion on the roads leading to the Greenway Stables. Therefore, we only had a short amount of time to visit the farm animals.

towards the horses.

Moving on to hiking and visiting the horses stabled at the Greenway. We saw and visited with several owners who were there to enjoy a ride on their horses along the trails.

The Greenway has several horse stables scattered along the Dogwood Trail and are maintained by the Greenway staff. Quite a few of the horses are privately owned and as the sign says you’re not supposed to pet or feed the horses. However, some of the owners will allow Coleman to pet their horses. If an owner’s horse is skittish the owner will not recommend petting it or coming too close.

We recommend checking with a horses owner before petting them. The owners are not always present, but when they are they are friendly and usually willing to answer any questions about their horses.

A Horse is a Horse,

Of Course

Coleman loves to visit the Greenway Horses. They have a special way of communicating with each other.

I’ve got my eye on you.
I want a treat … Got any?
You know I can’t give you any …
Jah, Jah, I know …
it’s against the rules

Besides my caretaker is watching.

A Horse Poses for Portrait

While visiting the horses on an outing to the Greenway, it seemed like this particular horse was posing for us showing us every possible angle.

Watching us walking up

The horse was tethered to the railing across from the Historic Tack Shed waiting patiently for its rider to return.

Checking us out;
Giving us a Frontal Headshot

Almost all the horses stabled at the Greenway are privately owned and cared for by their owners. If asked a lot of the owners will allow you to gently pet the horse.

Turns so we can
capture the Right Side

I found it fascinating how the horse would first turn one way and then another as if showing off all of its beautiful features.

2025 Weekly Prompts Colour Challenge – Brown in Nature

Look all around, there’s Brown everywhere you look out in nature. From the ground, to boardwalks, and even to the varying kinds of animals which roam around in the woods, in farms, and even in many greenways. Here are a few examples of Brown I have discovered.

2025 Monochrome Madness (MM) #38 – Starting with an H

H’s in ASCG

H’s were not hard for me to locate for this week’s MM challenge. Why was it so easy? We just recently took Coleman to visit the Horses at Anne Springs Close Greenway. He loves to visit and spend time loving on the Horses.

H is for Horses, Horse Stables and Hay …

Naturally, where you find Horses you’re sure to find plenty of Hay and Hay bales when you visit the Greenway Stables.

H is for Hay and Hay Bales …

Now for a visit to one of the other four entrances to the Greenway. What’s a visit to the Lake Haigler entrance without a hike down to gaze over Lake Haigler.

H is for Lake Haigler …

However, to visit all of Lake Haigler you’ll need to go on a Hike on Haigler Loop.
