Black horses graze in unfenced pasture
My friend (and client) Patti S. has an idyllic 75 acres or so in N.H., including a to-die-for 30 acre field surrounded by woods and well away from the access road. She allows her two black Arabians, Moses and Eli, to free graze literally in her front yard. These horses are conditioned to come to her when called and obviously have no desire to roam anywhere else.
How would you like a black Arabian in YOUR front yard?
Eli and Moses wander around the driveway…
then get down to the important business.
Meal with a view!
I assume Patti is able to keep them out of flower beds and away from bushes, though I doubt they pay much attention to those things… Patti also is extremely talented at clicker training, and she gives public demonstrations. She drives Eli and is training Moses (the younger of the two), and she’s the one who sold us our new 4-wheel carriage last December.

This Eagle sports a brass whip holder and birdseye maple dashboard.
FYI, this is the portrait painting I did for Patti, which combines the elements she chose for her painting, with her home in the background. (Included is a companion pony for the boys.) See how I did the reference photographs of horses running in this unfenced field for Patti’s portrait, Black Horse Farm…
All is well when horses are content! Life is good!
