Was I wrong going after her? They also eat horses

We love you all and wish we could help every horse you tag is in. But, we are hoping to relocate by the end of the year and absolutely cannot take on any more animals. Not sure where we're headed, but I do know we need a more conducive property for the horses and dogs. Although this property has worked out and was a last minute decision when we had to move to Texas from Oregon in order for me to be my dad's hospice nurse, and then care for my 95 year old mom. It is time to get to our final destination and enjoy our lives, and better the dogs and horses. I know I haven't been online much, mostly because I had to have my shoulder replaced. But, as I'm starting to get use back I'm working on finalizing the last little bit of remodeling inside, and then I'll spend time outside working on curb appeal, and a lot more time with the horses. It's shedding season and that's a must.

This property is ideal for a Mare Motel, someone with 3 or 4 horses, and/or a boarding facility. The arena is a roping/barrel arena that someone really needs to enjoy, and the hot walker is ideal for cooking down or warming up any horse.

I'll keep you updated as to purchase progress. Please understand I do see your tags and I'd take them all, but there's priorities right now. Thanks for understanding.

Sometimes you do whatcha gotta do. This is my Apache, our blind gelding. I love him so much. I couldn't get to the box of masks and the strap tore on his. So, I grabbed one of the donky donks, hence the droop in the ears. My Joker boy 🤣

One limb tore some of the metal on our storm shelter. One tree was killed by the locust this past year and is coming down. And my beautiful elm has self shed. Branches are all the way up to the road. My dad's wishing well I kept after he passed needs repair now. Ugh. Getting too old to keep up with all this. Just want to love on my babies and rest. We ha e more wind storms later this week. Pray with us for rain

Fortunately, it doubled over and sheet metal didn't go flying. All that work only to do repairs. Hoping to be relocating the rescue by the end of the year to more green fields and trees. Not sure where yet, but this year. Need to finish the last of our remodel. This is a great 3 or 4 horse property. 27 is too hard to manage without grass. We've already gone through 20 big bales in about 6 weeks. We need rain to encourage what grass we do have to grow

Winds are gusting to 60mph, so I thought I'd see if any of my babies were in. Black Jack has his mare, Cheyenne, at the hay pile with Smokey Joe. I can see the Be**er over near the trees grazing with a few of the others. He's his own independent self and loves hanging with the other 3 geldings and their bands. But, despite looking like an alien, my Yava always shows up if he hears me. So far trees and our shelter have taken a hit. Horses are all good

When the domestics are done eating breakfast they usually go to the hay pile, and several will just take a nap. Lately, George has been wanting turned out to the pastures and Gus and Zena will follow. However, today, for the first time in 2 years, Loki (our partially blind mustang mare) wanted out, too. She had no desire to do anything but graze. The Alpine boys had to check her out. The rest of the herd already knew her. Smokey and Black Jack went back to the hay, but Yavapai decided she was his. Oh boy. Will be an interesting day
