Buckwheat Update from May 7 2007

Since it is downright warm out today and since he has FINALLY finished shedding, Mr Buck got a bath today! As with everything, he was good as gold, even though he’s no big fan of the hose. Look who’s gorgeous: 

Buckwheat Update from Apr 6 2007

BUCKY UPDATE! First off, I’ve got to say that I have gotten really attached to the little bugger. He is sweet and gentle and quiet and just the funniest looking little guy…I’ll post some pictures as soon as my camera battery recharges. He has been shedding copious…

Buckwheat Update from Feb 1 2007

Had a chance to see what’s under that blanket today…he’s got a cute little bod! He stood very nicely to be groomed. I know there has been some concern about the possibility that Buck has Cushings, due to his long coat? Well I am happy to report that he is shedding…

Buckwheat Update from Jan 31 2007

I let him meet Jay & Oliver briefly over the fence after I unloaded him from my trailer yesterday. They all sniffed noses then Buck squealed and sort of struck out with his front hooves. I took to the back pasture and turned him out there, and he immediately…

Buckwheat Background and History

BUCKWHEAT is a 20–25 yo 15 hh gelding. Bay with a small star and a double snip. Right now he is a furry little guy in his winter coat. Buck is up to date on shots, worming, teeth and feet. He has some stiffness due to age and cold weather, but he is sound and quite…

Greta update — Jan 22, 2007

I got to see Greta today working with her trainer, Monica Stephens, and see Greta’s owner Molly again. Wow! I can’t believe this is the same horse I saw in May 2005, who was sick, thin, and lethargic in quarantine in Yakima. She is absolutely stunning! I think she had…

Earl’s Story

There’s a scene toward the end of the documentary Buck in which legendary horseman Buck Brannaman is in a pen with a stallion who repeatedly tries to attack him. Buck calmly uses his flag to keep the horse at a safe distance, and all the while, the stallion is rearing…

Sweet Smellin’ Ginger!

What Arabian girl doesn’t love her hair products and pampering?  Well until this matted tail little mare had met me, I’m not sure how she survived without spa treatments and pampering!  As you may know from earlier reports, while Ginger’s previous owner allowed her to…

The Constant Gentleman: Portland

If you have yet to meet this amazing gelding, I wanted to give you just a little taste of what it’s like to know this special horse.  I lovingly call him my “boyfriend” because he embodies a strong, caring gentleman who would undoubtedly take long walks on the beach…

Checking in With Bridgit

Bridgit is an endearing youngster, her occasional moments of baby brain are quickly forgiven when she looks at you with her innocent charm. She spent the summer in the company of my older boss mare, learning how to be a respectful member of a herd. She was a very…

Healing thoughts for Summer…

Please think good thoughts for Summer…she went down in her pasture this morning and for a while it didn’t look like she was going to get back up. Thankfully she’s up on her feet again and our vet is on the way out to see her. We’ll have an update later today,…
