Great Gluteus Maximus!

I let the 'kids' outside the other day to stretch their legs and run off a little energy.

(And, yes, this was before we got the foot of snow!)

It was the first time that Courtney had been in the side paddocks and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it at first. But it didn't take long before she made herself at home.

She really is such a buxum beauty!

A rather full figured gal with a body shape that I can certainly identify with.

You see, over the years she's had a few babies... as have I,  and has gotten a bit hefty in the haunches... or rather a bit robustious in the rear-end-er parts... and I can relate to that too... I believe it's a sisterhood of sorts... to have a pudgy posterior is a rite of passage... it is a badge of honor that is earned... a statement that says 'yes... I have given birth and I am darn proud of it!' This is our common bond...

I say Sisters of the Hearty Hindquarters unite! Heh heh heh

Can I get an Amen here? Ü

I bet you didn't know that a burly backside could say all that?

Well... let me assure you it does...

And so does a bountiful barrel...

and it has absolutely nothing to do with food intake...

Nope-Nope... it's all about those babies!

Courtney is even health conscience, she excersises daily by doing head lifts...

up-down, up-down...

up-down, up-down...

Hmmm... up-down, up-down?.. ... down? down? down...???

Well, she keeps herself fit and trim by refraining from eating every little morsel, that is served her on a regular basis, and choosing instead to spend her time gnawing on the roots of grasses and scraping the mosses off the frozen landscape that couldn't possibly sustain a mini horse let alone a grand gal like her...

And she could mindlessly abide her time doing this but she has to keep the youngsters in line

and that keeps her on the move

I know how she feels... it's all part of being a Mom.
