Do you think Sassy Gracie feels pretty in pink?

Fly Season in Eastern Ontario has arrived!

Despite a record-breaking warm and wet winter, we had substantially fewer insects in May and June. Maybe the thousands of dragonflies and the bat house helped.

But now the flies are back!

Getting the horses sprayed and geared up until November, along with fans and fly strips in the barns.

At least we are not in Northern Ontario and Northern Canada where there are 2 seasons: bug and severe cold

Meet Willow, The Wild Mustang who paints!

Willow was captured by the BLM and found her forever home sanctuary with horse angel Alyssa, a host of the Reinforce the Horse podcast. Alyssa and Jason interviewed me last summer for my chapter The Divinity of Horses!

A Message from Willow:

Hi, I’m Willow, a wild mustang from White River, NV, and I love to PAINT!

Since I am a horse, I can only see a few colors, and I see blue and yellow the best. Blue is my favorite. I hold the paintbrush in my mouth and paint a beautiful piece of abstract art. It’s one of the many ways that I express who I am.

My paintings will make a perfect gift for horse lovers and art lovers, alike.

Alyssa, my person, and I work together on some of my paintings, to help you see more into my story. On these paintings, Alyssa takes her art tools and outlines the messages that I've hidden, to later bring to your eyes in our Partnered Paintings gallery

I want to share my story with you, and with the world! I also want to help you see the reality and stories of other fellow Mustangs who were captured like me, and also those who are lucky enough to still be roaming free!

Are you interested in helping Alyssa and me share my story, protect free roaming Mustangs, help save already captured Mustangs from a scary home, and say thank you to others who are working to protect us Mustangs too? You can help us by giving my paintings a good forever home :)

Getting ready for first cut hay harvest!

My new hay loft is ready for square bales! Yeah!

Another renovation . . . Done! This was my last big barn project last summer.

Now, looking forward to dropping square bales to the horses in this barn, rather than constantly moving hay from another barn.

Mastering sanctuary farm life is all about efficiency in daily function, without dependency on people and machines.

That is why it is so important to keep myself healthy and positive. I need to be able to rely on myself. I do so with my Apona Healing Method

The Dance of the Dragonflies . . . Look closely in this video

Every May, the beautiful magic of dragonflies blesses my farm, with thousands catching bugs and dancing in delight.

With all the rain, we haven't been able to hire a farmer with a big tractor to clean out this barnyard from winter hay. But the dragonflies came to the rescue!

Birds, horses, lilacs and dragonflies making this hot, humid holiday weekend extra special.

Saint Lacharme

It is with deep grief and devastation that I am sharing our beloved Golden Girl, Queen Lacharme spread her Angel Wings to ascend to her Heavenly Home on Good Friday, March 29, 2024. Lacharme’s departure was sudden and completely unexpected. Lacharme was her healthiest and happiest, in her words “this is the happiest time of my life.” Lacharme was just beginning her new life with her soul family here. For us, 26 is young. Together, we were creating a magnificent future, free of the darkness, loss, loneliness, betrayal, humiliation and despair that Lacharme had lived through. Her deep trauma was healed. Lacharme became strong and secure enough to not just survive, but to rejoice in giving and receiving love again.

“I Am Whole”

These are the words that beautiful Lacharme shared with me as she left her Earthly body. As I lay with her, sharing reiki to help her spirit release with ease, drowning in my tears, one word consistently came through . . . “Saint”.

Lacharme arrived on Earth as an Angel and ascended to the Heavens as a Saint. She earned the high status of Sainthood.
Saint Lacharme is an example to All of unwavering kindness regardless of the cruelty and suffering she endured.
Her teachings are many. Her love is inclusive. Her legacy is profound.

Every person who was in Lacharme’s presence, from haulers to vets to volunteers, all said the same 4 words “She Is Soo Sweet”. Lacharme’s sweetness came from the unconditional love she had for All, even her abusers. Her Essence is Universal Kindness. She lived without hate, bitterness, anger or resentment, despite her treatment by humans.

“She LOVES . . . Despite Everything And With A Singleness of Mind and Heart. If Only . . . I . . . Could Love Like That.” Source: Movie, “The Thornbirds”.

Lacharme is, as her name expresses, a holy charm. Being in her presence created gentle, deep, powerful healing. She is a master of holding the sacred space of Divine Love, on Earth and now from Heaven.

The first evening Lacharme arrived, depleted physically, mentally and emotionally from the pain and losses of her life, she rested her head on my chest and nudged me with gratitude and recognition. Lacharme told me how she endured hardship. She said she focused on the happiest time of her life, the time when she was born. Lacharme shared that by staying in the energy, the feeling, of her greatest joy, she could get through the heartaches of life. And she was also sad at the state of humanity. “I tried, I tried sooo hard to make them happy” Lacharme told me. I reminded her “You did everything right, Lacharme. Nothing was your fault.” We discussed this truth daily, to help her shift from the shock and grief of the experiences of her life, to remembering how truly magnificent she is in body, mind and spirit. For all the loved ones she lost, I reminded her that they wanted her to be happy on Earth, that her being happy and fulfilled makes her family in Heaven happy. In her great wisdom, Lacharme embraced this knowing, released attachment to the losses of her beloveds (as this attachment once served as her only connection to feel love in the darkness of life on Earth) and Lacharme welcomed the abundance of joy, family and peace back into her heart. We reminded Lacharme every day of how she looked regal, magnificent and walked like a Queen. Lacharme drank in this truth like water in a desert. In time, she remembered and celebrated Her Divinity as she looked deep into our eyes with unwavering love.

Lacharme is one of the wisest spiritual Masters, an old soul who had unimaginable courage to come to Earth to shine her purest of Light with the darkest of people, in the darkest of places.
In the days after her ascension, Lacharme shared with me “I know more than you realize”, a powerful reminder to humans that we are in the presence of Divine Spiritual Beings who are testing and supporting us “more than we realize”.

Next time a horse crosses your path or calls to you, with an SOS for help, to save his/her life from abuse or from being tortured to death in a slaughterhouse, remember who is calling to you . . . A Divine Being who will heal you, as much as you help him/her.

We honoured Lacharme as the Queen she truly is. Lacharme’s healing was our top priority, with therapeutic massages, chiropractic treatments, vet care, red photon light therapy, homemade healing feed twice daily to support her digestion along with gentle natural remedies to heal possible ulcers. Everything was in divine alignment to support Lacharme, including finding an amazing fly sheet at 93% discount “by chance” that “just happened” to fit her perfectly, and finding my older winter horse jackets that were perfect to keep her both warm and dry in the autumn and winter weather. Lacharme rejoiced in being outside, savoring the scents of the seasons' fresh air, soaking in the sun and running and playing with her new best friend forever Mr. Asher as they wrestled with the wind. To ensure Lacharme was warm and rested on cold winter nights, we built a lovely stable in our warmest barn with a thick straw bed just for her. To see her and Mr. Asher sleeping side-by-side, warm and in deep peace, as the howling winds echoed outside, made my heart fill with joy.

Lacharme’s new life had begun and we are devastated that she left so soon.

Lacharme would like to thank everyone who helped her in her life, especially friends here on Facebook who saved her from a fate worse than death, a slaughterhouse in Mexico, and to the farm workers and volunteers at Apona Healing Ranch who helped us care for Lacharme and who experienced Lacharme’s special love, firsthand: Elle Elle, Mia, Melania

Lacharme and I would like to thank everyone who shared Lacharme’s kill pen post in January 2023, who donated to bail her out of the kill lot and donated for her transportation to my sanctuary farm in Canada, as well as the friends who devoted valuable time to guide me through the challenging journey to save Lacharme in Mississippi while I was located in Canada. I have tagged everyone in the comments. If your name does not appear, please do let me know, as I am not aware of everyone who helped along the way.

I am especially grateful to the incredible horse advocate and horse angel Kim Sheppard, who worked around the clock to help me find transportation and boarding for Lacharme. And heartfelt thank you to the awesome Ricky Rogers of New Hope Horse Rescue Inc., who picked up Lacharme, immediately took her for medical care at a vet clinic and provide exceptional care and support for Lacharme in every way while she regained her strength to be able to journey home to us in Canada.

Lacharme is forever with us, in our hearts and soul. Lacharme epitomizes the words of her fellow Saint, St. Francis, “ Nothing Is So Strong As Gentleness, Nothing So Gentle As Real Strength”.

Lacharme’s Earthly resting place is in a grove of trees overlooking our hayfield with beautiful sunsets.

Thank You Saint Lacharme. “You did everything right”. You are perfect. You are forever our High, Noble, Sweet, Gentle, Powerful . . . Golden Girl Queen. You are the essence of all that we do at Apona Healing Ranch, to:

HEAL Yourself. LOVE A Horse. CREATE Peace.

Donations for Lacharme’s vet bills, burial and for all of our horses are always greatly appreciated. Thank You from me and Lacharme. Every dollar donated is an act of the Universal Kindness that Lacharme embodied.
