Remember the skinny quarter horse that we picked up - along with the black mare - earlier this spring? Well, after a couple of doses of worming medicine and his feet being trimmed, along with LOTS of groceries and some TLC grooming, here he is just two weeks ago... isn't it amazing that just FEEDING a horse will help it look lots better? He's going to be a great horse for the grandma and grandkids to ride - so we have been told. We're going to let grandma find out, in a few months, after he has gained a little more weight - he still has a ways to go.
The black mare was NOT pregnant - just loaded with worms and I'm supposed to go visit her in the next week or two, so will show you updated pictures.
Doesn't he look great? And the Police did go to their residence and all the other horses are out of there. Don't quite know all the details, but according to friends and neighbors, they were supposively 'bankrupting' the owners with their feed bills. Hmmm... seems like they were finally getting the feedings they needed and deserved!
Raise awareness that there is a need for humans to care for the animals in our world. Encourage and promote spay/neuter, rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of all animals. Encourage and support those who do rescue. Crochet a blanket. Clean a stall. Donate your time, truck and trailer to transport. Hug a rescue friend who needs a shoulder to cry on. Donate 5 bales of hay. Do something. Do anything.

Friday, Friday, Thank God It's Friday!
Well, long time, no see. The chickens are getting big, as well as the turkeys - my nephew is no longer worried about what everyone is going to eat (another story!) and the kids and horses are still alive. The husband and I just celebrated 20 years of marriage and I have my jobs, but a few less teeth. (I had two teeth pulled Wednesday and have been quite out of the normal routine).
Hoping to catch up this weekend and have some pictures to show you, along with a few more tales to tell.
Hope everyone has wonderful plans for this weekend...
