Options for when "that time" comes

I know this isn't really a very popular subject among horse lovers but I do think that it is very importand information to have on hand for when the time comes that you are faced with the job of putting down your horse and disposing of the body.

Saphire from the Highway 47 case had a foal!

I got a phone call from a very excited Shelby informing me that Saphire had a healthy little filly. They name her Lizzy.



Isn't she just DARLING!!! What a cute, lucky little stinker pot!

Some of the horses have been updated and an announcment

I have posted new photos and bits of information on the following horses:

Buttermilk buiscuit
Amber
Misti
Moonshadow
Fancy
Pokey

The defendants of the Sheridan Seven horses Studly, Boss, Madeline, Giggles, Tease, Pokey and Big Ruth were sentenced and very VERY soon all of these horses (except the ones already spoken for) will be up for adoption!!!!!

The ones I have left are: Tease, Pokeyand Studly. Boss and PAL may also be available, the person that originally spoke for them is thinking it over. She wants to be sure that they go to the very best home available where they will be treasured and loved as much as they deserve.

Pokey and Studly will need to be castrated before they leave HART and will have an adoption fee of $200.00 each. Tease will have an adoption fee of $100.00. Boss and PAL (if available) will have an adoption fee of $300.00.

Pal and Boss are doing very nicely

Pal is growning into that head and ears and is starting to show some resemblance of his sire


Here is a head shot of his sire



Boss is looking excellent and healthy with a nice shiney coat

If you didn't see me on the news the other day

Here is a link to the story on ABC

Enjoy!

Here are some photos of Misti

These were sent by Misti's new owner. Notice how crowded her teeth are in her mouth. EEKS!

Updates are finally downloaded!

FINALLY I had some time to get updated information and testimonials from the adoptive families on some of the horses. Click on the links for Misty, Molly, Moonshadow, Shadow, Mariah and Big Ruth to see their updates. Sorry, putting the html links in this post just takes too danged LONG!

Keep checking back for more updates!
