Now for the Bub update.
After 2 years of knee issues, arthritis and just getting old. We decided to try a different route .
Bub was struggling with movement on his front end. Tried all the RX stuff with a heavy price and toll on the old man. So I started him on some pretty powerful herbal stuff and WOW! He was able for the first time in 2 years to get a full trim. Knees bent and able to go on the stand. We have an amazing farrier Stephen who is always patient with him.Witch makes him priceless to us. At almost 30 he is still happy. Still loving his attention and can get up and down. Many days I contemplated the horrible day that I would not see his beautiful face again. I am glad that is pushed back for a minute. Many people have said the cost is to great. And at times it was impossible. But we will continue to fight for my freind of a lifetime.
We love him and am so very blessed to of had him in our lives and many of yours.
Viva la Bubbles!!!

The weather here is amazing today. Weird but amazing.
Already 80 and going up. Even with our morning rain the ground was great for turnout. Amazing how sandy soil can do that. After black gumbo for 10 years it is a true blessing.

Hoping everyone is doing well. We know the struggles of keeping our chin up during hard times. We are so very grateful to our amazing freinds and neighbors that pitched in, lent us equipment and have been constant support getting our property improved for the horses. Still in awe as to how many hours have gone in to such a small area.
Over 100 hours to pull trees, briars, plow , disc, fertilize and drag. Now all seeded and 🙏 for rain.
So many projects still to undertake. From completing a road to the back of the property to eventually having a complete barn , run in sheds and a arena. I take my coffee out in the morning and often become overwhelmed and then I realize how far we have come . It is not the big fancy barn and covered arena we once had . However it's quite and the horses are healthy and happy. Our neighbors are amazing people. And we have a great sence of peace . I am still constantly searching for the next great addition to the farm but with a a bit more realistic views.
I look forward to hearing & seeing all of your achievements. I am never happier than to see those in my life excelling in their endeavors.

Chin up, heels down, safety first and know your worth!

Hope all our horse freinds are doing ok. The morning here was filled with pulling ice out of troughs . But all the horse are fairing well.
Love to all and keep warm!

Missing you all. Hoping everyone has a blessed and safe holiday season. The horses all send their love as well and the Donkeys.They all still get excited when cars pull up. Thank goodness the mail lady/UPS enjoys them . 😆 They all still throw on their Schoolmaster pose whenever kids come to visit. Landslide still comes barreling in when the farriers daughter comes . He never behaves better than when she is here.
Mr.Bubbles has been on herbal treatments for his uvitis and he is much improved. Not perfect but much less swelling and the destruction of his left eye has stopped.
Jewel is still under treatment but holding her own. Retirement suits her well. Romeo is forever 2 even at 12. For all of you who check in thank you. The best gifts is knowing you have fond memories.
All our love and Happy Holidays!
