Here’s to the owners who are checking waterers for ice.
Here’s to the owners who are constantly outside to monitor their horses health in this weather.
Here’s to the owners who are switching out blankets to keep horses warm. Here’s to the owners who don’t blanket because their horses are staying warm.
Here’s to the owners who worry if their horses are warm.
Here’s to the owners who have frozen fingers but make sure the hose has been thoroughly drained before leaving. And here’s to the owners who have to keep the hose inside their house to make sure it doesn’t freeze.
Here’s to the owners who run a boarding facility and don’t sleep because they are constantly checking on everyone’s horses.
Here’s to owners who board their horses wishing they could have them home during these scary temps.
Here’s to the countless headlamps and heated vests needing charged, wet gloves drying on countertops and duct-taped snow boots trying to make it through one more season.
Here’s to the sewing sessions to repair horse blankets.
Here’s to the gate latch CPR sessions trying to heat it up by breathing on it so it can be opened.
Here’s to the countless bales of hay. Countless flakes tossed. The countless times of asking “where are the scissors?!”.
Here’s to the frozen p**p piles that get tripped over, ankles rolled over, toes stubbed over.
Here’s to the shows being rescheduled, the rehearsed patterns and hours of showmanship practice being put on hold.
Here’s to the layers of pj pants under snow coveralls.

Here’s to the part of horse ownership that isn’t so glamorous. Thank you for all YOU are doing for the safety and wellbeing of your horses during this time. ❄️💙

Weaning the babies today. It is crazy how much they grow in just 4 and 5 months! Bob is on the right and Carson to the left. One baby out of a black and white paint mare MFT and the other from a black mare appendix QH. I wonder what color Trooper John throws to his babies?

Thank you to Jeff Allen and Vicky Lynn Allen who came to visit the Ranch Saturday with their daughter Madelyne Allen to ride horses. Jeff took some pretty awesome pics! Had to share a couple.

I am sad to say the Sparky has crossed the rainbow bridge. The good part is he is reunited with his original owner. Anytime someone wanted to come out and ride, there is always that one “go to” horse that would just behave. The horse at the ranch was always Sparky. Sparky always took care of his rider and gave them the confidence they needed. Sparky was our friends Mo’s horse that she brought from New Jersey. When she passed away Sparky came to live with us. It’s always hard to say goodbye to a good friend, so I will just say until we meet again Sparky.

I am so happy for AJ and Khalil! After my uncle died in 2009, I basically stopped riding horses. I actually stopped wanting to love anything new in my life! Khalil was presented to me in 2017. I thought he was going to be MY GUY! Funny how a horse can change a man’s heart and want to love again. In a short 5 years we have grown our herd from 5 horses to 20+. Long story short, I received Khalil (he is polish Arabian bred, and his name means “good friend”) so he could be the horse that will take care of this young lady for many years.

Bittersweet day. Khalil is with his forever human and I have happy tears! Some horses just help you grow and heal. Khalil was that horse for me.
