February 11th

Good morning from the gang! Happy horses!

Little E in the morning sun.

Mishka – he’s so cute. He moves his lips when you talk to him and if anyone were watching, they’d think he was really having a conversation.

Love, love, love these kids! Thank you Ruth and RC for giving them such a wonderful home and spoiled life! Love you all!

I went out to groom Beauty today and decided I’d play with her a little bit on the lunge line. She did so well and seemed to have such a good time, I just had to put the saddle on her. Then, well, I just could not resist. This was the first time I’ve been on her since she foundered/rotated a few years ago. Some said she’d never be able to be ridden again. Good things come to those that wait. Prayers do get answered – BELIEVE!

Athena’s x-rays were not good. She’s got quite a bit of arthritis in her left hock which we recently found swollen – there’s also a bone chip. She must have gotten kicked by one of the other horses (she has since been moved to another paddock where there is less activity). There’s not much we can do but try to keep her comfortable. Athena does need a sponsor(s) to help with her supplements ($40 per month). Her vetting, including x-rays, this past week came to about $300. I wish it were better news, but we’ll make her as happy and as comfortable as we can as a pasture pal.

Our son, Joshua, came for a surprise visit today which made the day even better. And Bob got some help replacing a broken gate. There’s so many things around here that Bob could use help fixing.

These boys – they’re always into everything. Never a dull moment!

Betsy Rose is looking forward to her acupuncture treatment later today.

Today is Princess and Nick’s birthday. I’m sure they run and play and celebrate with others of our herd at the Bridge.
