Yes....I'm Beautiful!
This is a head shot of Billy Bob…a pony who lives a few roads over from me in Amherst, Virginia. I go to visit him sometimes and he always comes up to the fence to greet me. So friendly and curious. And he knows he’s beautiful! :))

Oh there he is again…I really love the contrast between green and Billy Bob!!!
I think he is saying something…Maybe “Where’s my carrot!?”
Ginny York replied
LOL I have tons of pictures of this little guy. I love him! In the winter he gets fuzzy…but he doesn’t have the fuzziness now that it’s Spring. I like him against the green too. I think you might be right about him asking for a carrot. I have fed them to him before and he loves them. The owner came by when I was there yesterday when I took this and asked me not to feed him. Hmmmm. I will have to be sneaky. lol

FlowersEtc
WOW! Billy Bob is handsomer than the actor. Wonderful capture. I Love your horse.
Ginny York replied
Thanks so much!!! I wish he was my horse…but he is a little horse who lives a few roads over from me. I go by and see him every now and then. And of course…I take my camera. He loves to have his picture taken. lol Thanks for adding him to your favorites!!!
FlowersEtc
If you haven’t talked with the owner, you should maybe they would let you ride him. He seems to lik you a lot
Ginny York replied
Thanks again!!! The owner has come by a couple of times when I have been out there taking pictures and asked me not to feed him! So I doubt she will want me to ride him. lol But that’s ok. I will settle for pictures of him. :)) He does like me. Whenever I go to visit him…he comes right up to the fence. And it’s like he’s posing for the camera. LOL I will still try to sneak him an apple or a carrot and maybe a lump of sugar. :)) He’s so cute!
FlowersEtc
That is a shame she isnt very friendly, of course she is just portecting this beauitful horse. You and I would probably do the same.
Ginny York replied
She really was pretty friendly. She just said that he would eat all day if people kept feeding him. :)) But I don’t think 1 apple or carrot would hurt!! :))
Gene Praag
Ginny York replied
Thanks so much Gene! What an honor! This guy is a really friendly little pony and I’m so happy to see him featured!!
FlowersEtc
:)) Have fun sneaking to see your friend
Ginny York replied
LOL Well his pasture is right next to the back road he’s on…but if the owner sees me out there she comes out sometimes. I guess she is making sure I don’t feed the little guy. :))
Irene Burdell
Ginny York replied
Thank you so much for this Feature Irene!!! I am thrilled. I just got back from a ride on the road here he lives and he wasn’t out today…so coming to the computer and seeing this just makes my day!!! :))

Ginny what a wonderful pony, he’s such a character! Wow and Wow on all your features on him! Very well deserved… beaut shot!
Ginny York replied
Thanks so much Helen! Isn’t he just so cute and so beautiful? I just think no one can resist him! :)) I know I can’t. I wish he were mine…but at least I can take a 5 minute drive and visit him. When he is out. Last time I went by he wasn’t out so I was dissapointed…but I did get some other horses out down the road a little farther. Thanks so much for making him a favorite! He really does love the camera and can make some poses!
