When life hands you lemons 🍋, you make lemonade, right? Or in our horses' case -- when storms bring down yummy tree branches directly into your pasture -- you have a smorgasbord!! You can see the green leaves of the tree still standing, while the big branch on the ground is stripped nearly bare. Those delicious mulberry leaves and bark didn't stand a chance!! In all seriousness we were very blessed and had only minor tree and fence damage from last night's storm. The final picture shows the cleanup and repair. We are praying for everyone that had damage to their property in the metro area.

We thought this photo embodied all the goodness of "National I Love Horses Day!" Although this holiday's origins are unknown, the day is dedicated to the amazing bond between humans and horses.

Pasture maintenance is so important for the health and well-being of horses. Now that winter is far behind us and the heavy rains have taken a bit of a break, it's time to get some of the mess removed from the pastures and taken to our compost pile to be used for our fields. With help from the Leadership Academy (made up of students from Treynor, Lewis Central, Underwood, Kirn, St. Albert and Wilson) we were able to get quite a bit of work done on our pastures. They also enjoyed doing some grooming and socialization time with a couple of our horses. THANK YOU!!

We had a great time at Horses Help SWI hosting these 2nd grade Girl Scouts. They learned about horse safety and tacking, followed by some interaction with our horses. They were all working hard at earning their Pets Badge! We're so proud of them - Congrats girls!

Horses Help SWI is ok from the storm. We thank our friends for checking in.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those whose property was damaged or destroyed.

Thank you Sara and Layla for your wonderful gifts to Horses Help SWI!! The barn kitties and horses will certainly be happy with their new munchies. Dawn dish soap is so helpful around the ranch; the sprayer nozzle will be put to good use on one of our hydrants and the fly strips will help control those nuisance flys! If you would like to shop off our Amazon wish list- you can find it in the comments. Thanks!

Ugh! Flies! Thanks Tami for sending us these fly traps for our barns and other out buildings to help get rid of these pests. And thanks for the new hose nozzle to spray down the arenas.
