Macro Monday

My Macro Monday post this week is "The Lip". I believe I'm mentioned before that my horse has rather large lips. It's pretty comical to watch how far she can stretch them when there is grass just outside of her paddock fence. And when she snoozes they get really droopy and it cracks me up to play with them.


Her lower lip always hangs down further and gapes open and you can stick your finger in there and the skin is all dry and she'll usually just sleep right thru me flapping it around and making her "talk" and all sorts of silly stuff. She puts up with a lot from me! lol


In these pics the girls were taking their afternoon siesta at our last cutting show of the year. We'd already had our runs and were just waiting to watch some friends go before we took off. Even Sugar looks a little tuckered out in this pic.


Midori was just totally zonked out though. I was almost surprised she didn't try laying down. You can see how wild they are. The boyfriend has to keep a watchful eye on them so they don't run off.



Or not. Sug perked up when she realized I had the camera. She's a total camera whore. Looooves posing for me! :)

Your horses are gorgeous! And that lip.....adorable! I'd be playing with those lips every chance I got, too. My mare tends to be a sour puss and her lips always seem to be tightly pursed together. sigh.
Give me a nice set of rubbery loose lips, please! :)
