We love Paint Horses!

As you can probably guess, we've collected another round of love to share with you today. If you missed the first edition, feel free to catch up before continuing!

Salute The Gold, a 2003 buckskin overo gelding, looks like a trickster! Or a loving Paint, at least. " 'Salute' has a perfect heart on his right side and, if you use your imagination, a second heart on his shoulder," writes owner Mariann Jones of Rosanky, Texas.

This little cutie sure has an interesting story! Owned by Sheri Mills, Dreamy Little Sweety is a 2007 palomino tovero mare. "Our 'Sweetie' was born on Valentine's evening," writes Sheri of Mesa, Arizona. "We were delighted with her perfect heart! She has remained an absolute sweetheart and is the easiest horse to work with. We love her."

Vickie Neumann of Nightstar Ranch in Little Elm, Texas, also has a loving Paint in her barn. "She has a heart on her belly!" writes Vickie of her 2007 buckskin tobiano mare Imagalexsey.

This stallion not only loves to run and play, but he wears his heart on his side for everyone to see! "The perfect big heart shape on the side of his upper hip—we believe it's a symbol of love that the Paint Horse gives to us," writes Heidi Dunnewold of Clymer, New York. Her loving Paint is Ima Buckking For Cash, a 2005 bay tobiano stallion.

Animal Farm, part five

It's time for another round of Animal Farm! If you've missed out on past editions of Animal Farm markings, check out versions one, two, three and four.

Sonny Cool Youre Jets, a 2007 chestnut tobiano mare, has gone to the dogs with her marking!

"One day we were standing out with the horse and I saw a dog shape on her right side," writes owner Crystal Vogel of Apple Hill, Ontario, Canada. "She is 2-years-old and the dog hasn't moved or changed one bit."

(If you can't see it, the dog's head is facing the horse's rear and the dog looks like a poodle.)

Following the dog (or maybe running away from) is 1996 bay overo gelding Commander Cat Bird from Laurel, Delaware. Take a guess at his markings!

"He has a picture of a cat on his side, with the cat's tail running up his hip, and a picture of a bird on his neck," writes his owner, Heather Holloway. "Hence his name, Commander Cat Bird."

Today's Animal Farm post is a real cat-and-mouse chase! Impressive Whispers, owned by Nicole Gray of Belleville, Michigan, sports a mouse on her side—Mickey Mouse, to be exact.

"This is my 3-year-old filly and you can clearly see Mickey Mouse's head on her right side," writes Nicole about her 2006 sorrel tobiano mare.

April showers

...of Paint markings! Thanks to everyone for your recent submissions. My inbox has been inundated with photos of interesting Paint markings! I'll do my best to stay caught up, but in the meantime, keep sending them in!

Have you ever been to your local drugstore shortly before any major holiday and checked out the holiday aisle? You've probably spotted this character, who dresses up for any occasion. Check out Snoopy, who rides alongside An Obvious Indian.

"I was recently soaking my mare's foot and had time to just look at her," writes Sue Cosens of Parker, Colorado, about her 1999 sorrel overo mare. "I noticed that her right stifle area sports a likeness of Snoopy. He is facing toward the rear and you can make out the nose, eye, mouth and ears (in an upward, surprised expression). It looks like there's something standing on his nose. Could it be a very slim Woodstock?"

With summer quickly approaching, you may be thinking about traveling. Perhaps you're considering a different country or continent?

" 'Bullseye' has continents on his sides," writes Emily Peak of Stapleton, Alabama. "On the left shoulder he has South America, and on the right is Africa."

This world traveler is Sharp Shootin Peppy, a 2005 bay tobiano stallion owned by Emily.

Continuing the fox and hound Connection is JK Hy Dollar, a 1995 sorrel overo gelding owned by Lila Feather of Le Roy, Minnesota.

"Our gelding has a mark on his belly that looks like a fox, as my husband says," writes Lila. "I see that too, but it also looks like the head of a horse."
