Jolene learning manners

Jolene learning manners
Jolene is my daughter-in-law's horse. She is a mustang, meaning she was born into a free-roaming, feral herd descended from colonial Spanish horses. She is very gentle, but has had no refined training. She has no concept of "personal space" and tends to get right up in your face, step on feet, and so on.

She is most of the time, until she steps forward and knocks someone over! ;-b

The mane of the woman is bigger than that of the mustang. I hope there is no envy. ;-)
But doubtless a beautiful horse!

Cette photo est superbe Diane. Du temps où je faisais de la peinture (et où j'étais moins fainéant ) elle m'aurait inspiré une toile. "Jolene" est un magnique prénom que je ne connaissais pas. Amicalement. Jean Paul

Thank you so much, Jean Paul. The name is from a Dolly Parton song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwBNBcFAFso
I agree, this would make a superb painting. Why are we so lazy, no more painting for us? It's a puzzle. I want to, yet I don't!

Thanks for that link. I guess Dolly's got lots of UK fans, too! Country is international these days, evidently--

Oh yes! In 1988 I was in Nairobi, Kenya, eating dinner at someone's tiny house. They played two records: Betty Wright ("Tonight is the Night") and Kenny Rogers ("The Gambler). Quite a combo! He said Nigerians were crazy about Kenny. Later, I met a Nigerian trader who told me the same. (Long story how I met these guys.)

A very beautiful horse, maybe not easy to control !!!!

Diane Putnam club has replied to Marie-claire Gallet
Thank you, Marie-claire! She needs more training, for sure, but my daughter-in-law has a lot of experience with that. Fortunately, the horse has a good temperament, she is just rough around the edges, as we say.
