Oh how we long to trial ride!
We've had some pretty dry weather this past month, but also stinking hot. Sure has put a damper in our trail riding this summer. Our trails are still in need of repair from this past winter and lots of people going on vacation this summer. Maybe we can rally up some time this fall.
Still need you chain saw guys!
September 6, 2009 - Horse Heaven Stable Bomb Fire
3:00 pm until ?? For our families attending the horse show we will start the fun upon arriving home.
Well, I think everyone had a great time at the Bomb Fire. The horse show at
Fallowfield got canceled, so we started the day with Games on Horseback and everyone got ribbons for their fun. The best part was we had so many horses only two children had to share their pony. Go Sugar! After the games we took care of all the horses and Fred & all the helpers were ready to go with the food table. All the kids were hungry and attacked the food. (party continues around the food and conversation)
Now, the sun is setting and here comes Fred with his GAS CAN! So I start gathering up people as fast as I can, cause the Gas Man don't wait. Flying up the hill in the garden tractor full of kids in the back, screaming and holding on for dear life....This time we'll remember the smores. Nope, not a chance, Loretta brought the Smores again! Thanks Loretta!
So then do you want to know what happened?
The fire idled slowly, not wanting to catch hold.............But Then! It Caught! Explosion!
Then within a half an hour the police, fire and ambulance showed up at our door! Boy, did we feel bad about spoiling their holiday!
You Go Guys! We appreciate all your hard work helping people!
Labor Day

May 4, 2009 - The Baby is born!
Our foster mare "Felicity" has had her baby. Mom and baby are resting and content. Come out to the barn and see the newest member of the Horse Heaven Stable Family. More pictures under the Our Foster Ladies link.
September 2009
Our beautiful filly, Felicity's Golden Twist, is growing like a weed. She is 4 mos. now and so independant and happy. She has bonded so nice with our own babies and they are truly best friends. We plan on leaving Mom and baby together for at least a couple more months. We will start working Mom to get them apart for short times and aim for a stress free separation. October brought us a happy and uneventful separation for mom & baby. Goldie & Cali are having PJ Parties in the big foaling stall and Felicity has been getting lunged regulary. We have gotten on her today (10/29) and walked, so we'll see how it goes?
November brings us to a slower pace as Felicity seems to prefer a solitary lifestyle. We are working on treating her up so she likes to be with us. Working on desensitizing superstitions about us humans. She's trying hard, but she could really use someone that has a lot more time than us to love her.
