Fabio was out today to do some hooficures. Classy still doesn’t like anyone touching her back feet. Touch her legs anywhere and she is fine but touch her feet and oh my gosh she’ll kick you from here to Texas! Legacy, Silver Belle and Aaleyah Belle were good. But guess who didn’t want to go back to her paddock? Yep, that’s our Aaleyah Belle – she just wanted to plant her feet and slime Pam! For those that don’t know about Aaleyah Belle – she was born with a wry nose and was going to be shot along with her mom (we called her Momma Sue) if we hadn’t taken them in. I named Aaleyah Belle after Eight Belles – Aaleyah was born the day that Eight Belles lost her life running in the Kentucky Derby – what a bittersweet day that I’ll never forget. Momma Sue was an amazing mare and raised not only her own little wry nosed filly but two other orphan fillies as well. One was a nurse mare foal that came to us only a couple of weeks old and the other was orphaned when her mother died when she was only a few months old – she came to us with serious open and untreated injuries to her chest and knee. Their story is an amazing one and can be found on our website.

Morning Star is more handsome each day. He’s looking for a forever home. He’s a beautiful mover and has a great personality – there is never a dull moment with him!

Indy trying to catch up with Marsha to see what he can get into. He’s pretty comical too – he’s a very good boy.

The Paso case is moving forward. Some of the horses will be leaving over the next week for their new forever homes. If anyone needs transport Pam (Double B Equine Transport) does a great job. Her number is 352-427-0474 and she does transport out of state. Please remember that if a horse is being transported out of state it needs a Health Certificate in addition to a Coggins. These horses are all very kind and every one of them deserves a good forever home. I’m still not feeling well but hope to get to the Paso farm for a bit tomorrow. The volunteers at the Paso farm and here at the rescue are doing a great job too – we appreciate all of them very much – we couldn’t do what we do without their help!
