Stearns Mules and Mustangs

Her name was Kaitie Leising.

She was 29 years old, a new mother and a beloved member of her community. She was a St. Croix County sheriff's deputy. She stepped up and stood between those who would do harm and the innocent.

Deputy Leising lost her life Saturday, shot and killed by a suspected drunken driver in a rural area of Wisconsin just a little more than an hour east of Ramsey County.

As we mourn the crushing loss of life and honor her service, we think about her family, her colleagues with the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office and the community members she kept safe. We also think about all the men and women continuing to step up, waking up each day, putting on the uniforms, putting themselves at risk for the sake of others.

It is still a noble and needed profession.

Thank you all for what you do. And thank you, Deputy Leising, for your life of service. Godspeed.

My Bay Roan is beginning to look a little like an Appaloosa. What do you think? He’s a 2 year old Mustang from Warm Springs HMA. He’s a Sweetheart.

Scout has a stall at the fair grounds where he can get socialized and I can’t really start on his education. He’s doing really well. He used to be terrified of that crinkly blue tarp.

First time to get a saddle blanket on my spooky mustang mare. We might get there yet.

This is our 2 year old Mustang filly, Kid’s, first time out of her pen and six foot high fences. Probably the first time she has tasted green grass. She was born In the BLM corrals at Hines.

Hey,
All my Horse and Mule friends, I’m looking for a Great Big headstall for my Jack. I found a draft horse bridle in the machine shed that was used back in the day when farming was still being done with horses but not big enough. Where’s the best place to get one? I don’t have a lot of money.
