IT'S A BOY!
Last night Boss gave birth to a beautiful, healthy colt! Mom and baby are both doing great. The vet will be out this afternoon to draw blood and do a wellness check on them both just to make sure. Boss is a wonderful, attentive mother and is kind enough to allow me to mess around with her little newborn without worry.
I decided to name him PAL of my HART. PAL is for the PAL Ranch in Mcminnville, the owners of the ranch donated the use of the property and barns to my rescue and expressed a desire to adopt Boss and her unborn foal several weeks ago. PAL stands for People Animals Love. The HART part of his name of course is for HART Rescue.
I can't tell who the sire is because he's the spitting image of his dam!
Julie, I hope you like that name. I know I said you should name him but PAL of my HART just seemed so perfect! You and Hanna can give him a good barn name.

Thank You Newberg Vet for the Dental Work
Today, Wendy (the mini taxi) picked numbers 9 and 11 up to take them to Newberg Veterinary Services so Dr. Erin Tripp could do their dental work for them. Here are some photos of their trip to the vet.
Waiting their turn for the proceedure
11 getting her teeth done. Her mouth was really a mess so she's going to need some follow up work.
9 gets her turn, her mouth wasn't in too bad of shape.
A little discussion between the vet and the pony wrangler
Whew! Done and giving the grass a trim.
Thank you Wendy and Newberg Vet for helping me take care of these little horses.

Today was an exciting day for HART
We had several visitors.
My old buddy Jeanne Dougal came by with her mom to drop off some donations of used horse tack to sell and or use for the rescued horses and some new supply items for the rescue.
Pat Swansik picked up Fabio to take him to his appointment for brain surgery at Willamette Valley Equine THAT MEANS ONE LESS STALLION AT HART! I'm so sorry Fabio but it just had to be done. Good luck old man and we'll see you back here on Friday. In case you are confused, Fabio used to be referred to as Eclipse but we changed his name to Fabio after he made it quite apparent that he was a ladies man and wanted no mistake of the matter, the poor little guy just couldn't understand why we wouldn't let him be with the ladies! Oh and "brain surgery" is just a another term for castration. Yeeks!
We also had a visit from a couple of 4-H groups from Yamhill County, the Red Hill Riders and the River Bandits.
Several kids and parents spent a couple of hours here at HART brushing all of the horses, cleaning out the arena and visiting with me. The ponies all enjoyed the attention from all of the girls.
Here is 5 getting some much deserved one on one attention
10 was a favorite among the girls, she is by far the best kids pony in the bunch.
A sample of what my barn isle looks like full of girls and ponies!
The boys helped with cleaning the arena!
I thought the girls that had the donkeys were lucky but of course I LOVE donkeys.
10 never ceases to amaze me!
And finally, here is the whole gange with their ponies.
THANK YOU to all that came out today for all of you help and for the donations, all is very much appreciated!

I have updated the inforamtion on all of the horses
I recieved an email from a person giving me all of the information on the 15 minis at HART so I have updated the description below. She asks that they all please keep their given names and I intend to honor her request.
Yesterday I had two different 4-h groups and several other individual people come out and help me finsih all off the work on all of the minis. They are all now completely free of their manuar balls, feet trimmed, eyes treated, wormed, flea dipped and delouced.
Here is a photo of my along with a couple of the awsome helpers I had yesterday.
Little Shadow Dancer is still so weak and fragil that we can only work on her for a few minutes at a time so she still has a lot of manuar balls to be removed but she is difinately more comfortable.
Bandit and Gambler went to their new home at Project Spirit a couple days ago.
Karina, Jem, Sparkle, Majorette and Shasta all went to their new home yesterday. They are living very close to HART so I will be able to check on them every day.
Wednesday, a representative from at vet in Newberg that is donating two floats is comming out to look at all of the remaining minis to see what two need them the most. She is going to haul those two directly to the clinic to have them taken care of right away. Thank you guys for that!
HART always has a no questions asked return policy on all of these little minis and any other horse or animal that is adopted so no matter what if it doesn't work out I will take the horse back and find it another suitable home. I also check in with my adoptive homes as often as possible weather it be a quick drive by, phone call or email just to make sure that everything is going well. I encourage adoptive families to send me updated stories and photos of their horses so I can put them on the blog.
Donations continue to come in and I am so grateful for each and every one of them no matter how big or small. We have plenty of grain here at HART for the horses so our greatest need now is pelleted stall bedding, money to Carlton Vet for vet care or money directly to HART for site improvements, the porta potty, the electric bill and other larger items that are more difficult to donate.
It has become obvious to me that I need to set up an account at a feed store and since WILCO is completely uncooperative with things like that I have decided to move my business to a small, family owned feed store in McMinville called Valley Feed. Just as soon as I can break away from the ranch I'll go down there and make arrangements for the account so people will be able to choose between sending money to Carlton Vet or Valley Feed. I think this will also give me an opportunity to use the combined donations to the feed store to help buy some of the larger ticket items that I have such a huge need for at this time.
Thank you again everyone and don't forget to look again at the list of horses so you can see their REAL names and ages, I think it's importand.

Enjoying their turn oustide
Here are a few photos of the minis hanging out in the quaranteen pasture. Tomorrow, two different 4-h groups are comming out to help me clean up the last of them so they will all be ready for adoption.
Good News!
Here is a shot of some of the minis enjoying the sun from my arena the day we brought them here. I'll get some more photos of them today and tomorrow.
The defendant in the case of the 15 miniature horses signed a full relinquishment of the horses over to the Sheriff's Office and I have been given permission to adopt out all except the seven that had the really bad feet. This is so exciting and I am very happy to report that almost all of those minis have been spoken for and will be placed in their new homes very soon!!!!!
I have several 4-h kids and a few other people comming tomorrow to help me finish getting all of the minis cleaned up, trimmed, wormed and brushed before they are sent to their new homes. My barn is going to be very full of helpful people and I am looking forward to it.
Here is the link to a news story that the local paper put in about the horses Fifteen Horses Seized in Grand Rhonde
Here is the best news, the donations comming in here have been PLENTYFUL and very GENEROUS!!!!!! Chance's Miniature Horse Rescue (CMHR)had sent a generous amount of money to Carlton Veterinary Services to help with the vet care for these special little horses. All of this just gives me the chills and when I got the phone call from the vet to let me know I cried. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! The ponies will be well served because of you.

Finally, photos of all of the mini horses horses
It's been crazy busy around here with trying to get the horses comfortable and creating a pasture area for them. The news crews have been keeping us pretty busy for the past two days. It's hard to believe that a one or two minute story takes two hours of interviewing and shooting. We were on channels 2, 6 and 8 and two different newspapers have come out also.
