The adventures of Gilly the rescue horse and his side kick and partner in crime, Pokey the donkey.

Being with a horse is a journey that never ends. What they have to teach us is amazing; but we must quiet our mind to hear them. ~ jca

Pokey gets a new fly mask and boys at play

Pokey got a new fly mask awhile back but the ears were for horses so I had to do some surgery on it. It said it was for a small horse, I think it would have fit Gilly so I took a tuck in the front cut off the small ears. They just weren't right for those majestic donkey ears, found some material to make them for Pokey's ears sewed them on and there you are donkey mask. But then it wasn't an hour before Gilly had pulled it off him! Bugger! I had to take it back off Pokey and redo the velcro; the jaw pieces wanted to overlap way under his jaw. Move the velcro then put it back on, it stayed!

Pokey is not too happy with Gilly pulling on his face mask and getting grass slobbers on it! Pokey likes getting it put on because he will come over and hang his head to be suited up!

Gilly says, "Who me? I didn't do anything! Just look at how innocent I look! :-D"

Pokey decided he was leaving and headed up the hill behind the barn. I went back in the house, came back out a little later to fine this going on! Had to run back in for the camera!

Click on these pictures to make them larger to see the goofy mouth expressions on these two!
They play pretty rough, ouch!



Pokey is giving me the eye here, funny donkey!

Gilly is trying again to rip the fly mask off!!! Bad horse!


Oh, OUCH!!! Look at the twist in Pokey's hinny as those teeth pinch a piece of skin! But then Pokey is biting Gilly on the leg as it's going on!
Boy, those critters have some tough hide!!!!

Gilly just ran off and had a bucking fit here, look at the dust clouds following him.

"What? Who me? What are ya looking at, I didn't do a thing, nope, no way not me...must have been the donkey!"

Pokey on a roll..............

Even though Pokey wasn't feeling good when we visited Lacy, he couldn't resist doing the thing he loves most.........
Rolling in the dirt!!! The arena was really dry, we haven't had rain in quite some time, so....the dirt was calling to him.
After smelling and wondering around in a circle he finally starts to do down............

thank goodness for high speed photography! These are a series of pictures taken as he was rolling and rolling in the dirt..........he really made the dust fly!Ahhhhh, this is the life, dirt, lots and lots of soft dirt!!!!
Now this has got to be the all time shot!!! Doesn't he look like a little dog sleeping on his back? This of course was a split second shot because he was rolling back and forth with that little tail whipping the dirt and causing clouds of dust to fly...............but what a happy boy he was.
When Gilly rolls in the dirt he shakes himself off and a cloud of dust flies, but not Pokey.........I guess he wants to be a dirty little donkey!!!

Pokey and Gilly visit Lacy..........

Gilly and Pokey love to visit down the road at Lacy's field. Gilly strolling along the fence; he has the beginnings of his winter just coming in. This was the 19th of September.
Pokey had been following along behind Gilly; Gilly's little shadow.
Pokey checking out the grass, "this smells different than my grass." Pokey wasn't feeling very frisky that day; it had been a week and a half since he had had surgery and he was still a little under the weather.
Gilly giving me a look back over his shoulder for a good picture. Lacy has managed to get Pokey away from Gilly; she wants to mother Pokey. First time she saw Pokey she thought he was her baby, she has had a few babies and is a really good mother. She thinks Gilly doesn't need Pokey, she wants him. Have been trying to talk Kim into getting a little donkey for Lacy to have a companion..........we will see!
Gilly having a good run around the field. I modified this photo with a color spot on Gilly. Look at those beautiful dapples shine on his butt!!! I wonder just what it is about some horses that makes them look dappled in the sunlight. Anyone know??? It's not something you can see all the time but when the sun shines just right there they are, shining like new pennys..........beautiful!!!
Gilly went running past me and I got a good shot of his flying mane. He loves to run when down at Lacy's. We don't have any flat places in our field and when he gets a chance he loves to run!
Always fun to go visiting!!!
