Lola Update from May 25, 2009
Lola is ready to be offered for adoption. She has made such a turnaround since I last saw her and not just because she has grown and shed her nasty coat. Gone is the little filly with the ‘tude, she is a total sweetheart now! Allison and I were able to groom her head…
Aiden Update from May 25, 2009
Aiden has turned out so beautiful! He is almost all shedded out and his head is really very refined for an Appaloosa. I am beginning to wonder if he is purebred — he also has a lot of mane and tail compared to the rest of the Appaloosas he was with who were all…
Sinatra Update from May 10 2009

Biscotti — April 27, 2009
New photos of Naughty Scotti. He is quite a bit bigger than Ariel now. He still has a long way to go to shed out his sheepskin rug but hair is coming off of him like no tomorrow. Ok, he is the most expressive horse with his upper lip I have ever known. He catches any…
Annie Update from Apr 26 2009
We haven’t had any new photos of Annie in a while so I took a bunch today, just out in the pasture. She hasn’t had any work the last few weeks as Kyle has been her primary handler, and I’ve noticed she’s actually getting a bit tubby. She looks great actually, both her…

Tarp training for Cameo
Cameo is pretty brave, but she’s not fond of loud or sudden noises. So Terry and Laura are working with desensitizing her. Here is Cameo’s first attempts at moving over a noisy tarp. Laura is very good at helping Cameo know she can take her time and think about it.…
