HELLO WORLD!


Its a Filly!
Finally at 8pm Remy went into labor. Ten min later we had a healthy Black filly. By 8:45 she was up and nursing. She is coal black, with no white to be found anywhere but I have a feeling she will roan our like her mother, and that is perfectly fine with me.

I love the whole fertility and birthing process when it comes to animals, I think they are some of God's greatest creations and when it goes with out complications to mom or baby it is a miracle....a mini one at that!

Our newest addition does not have a name yet, I want to learn her personality and her quirks and she will then name herself.

If you go to my website we will have more pictures up in a few days.
Its such a blessing to have a quick uncomplicated birth for mom and baby and they are both healthy and doing well.

Life goes on.........

I knew it had been awhile since I last posted.....I had forgotten just HOW long it had been. Apologies to those who are wondering about how the rescues are doing and what we have been up to.

J.R. is doing very well. He has put on probably 2oolb and his feet are starting to come back into shape with a few regular trimmings. We are currently feeding him Aloe Vera juice to help with his ulcers and it seems to be helping him quite a bit. I can not wait till the footing is a little better around here so that he can go into light training and see how much he really knows and get him in a little better shape.

Remy still has not popped. Her previous owners were WAY off on her breeding dates so we sit a wait. She is bagging up some and her hind end has dropped some but we are going on almost 3 weeks with those signs. The way we figure it we got her the end of May so she has to come at the very latest in May.....lol.


Nim is as woolly as ever and doing well. We are registered with Delta know and have several facilities that would like our services but we are waiting on our ID badge and we must get a special patch made for our vest we wear....therapy dog doesn't really fit. We are currently going to a local puppy class held by a wonderful trainer, Donna Lee Watson. We go and participate with the others in the class. Nim of course does not sit and stay but we work on our own program a little.

I will try to get better at posting more often and we will be talking more about what and how we train our horses to go into facilities and some of the things that are asked of them.
