Wow that's a really great picture! I took one of a double rainbow once that wasn't nearly that nice. :)
Thanks for the comment on Chrome and the pedestal. I used 3/4 inch plywood secured with carriage bolts (2 1/4 inches should be plenty long), washers (so it doesn't pull through the tire) and lock nuts. For the support I just screwed several four by fours in the center, but it does need some sort of support in the tire because when he steps too close to the edge it collapses and he slips, so I'll probably put some two by fours in there. It was really simple to make. :D So far he seems to love it. I've been feeding him his dinner while he stands on it and he hurries over, puts his front hooves on it and shoves his head in the bucket before I can even click so I don't think he's nervous about it lol. He's so silly. He's put a rear hoof on it a couple of times too. :)
I bet that was really adorable with Misty and the bridge. Four inches does make a difference!
I've loved horses all my life and owned several when I was younger. I showed in English Pleasure and Amateur Hunters in my 20s. Now in my 50s, following a long absence of horses, I've rekindled my passion. I have three equines at home - Misty, a Percheron mare, Lyra a mini horse and her daughter, Lola, a mini mule. We're an odd looking group, but we get along great.
Now that is one amazing photo. Just beautiful.
