Peanut first time in the shoeing stocks. He did good....he's not grumpy, just a little sedated.

I came home from lunch to this..... I was shocked. That is Ronnie (herd leader) and Aria (lead mare, and herd enforcer) letting the new guy šŸ‘‘ Arthur hang out in the shelter WITH them .... They don't allow anyone to do this. Finn ( #3 in the herd) might get to stick his head in but no one gets to just hang out the shelter with the bosses, unless you're the King šŸ‘‘, apparently.....

An inspiring end to the conference as Homes for Horses members from 16 states took to Capitol Hill to lobby for equine protections and talk some into Congress! Great job everyone and thank you for taking the time to speak up in Washington DC on behalf of horses. šŸ“

Put up most of the irrigation for the season. Just left a little bit out to keep Mr Justin cool the next few days since it's going to be on the hotter side. The ponies are all very helpful, and come to get their scratches. Even Arthur is starting to really enjoy his attention ā¤ļø

Arthur <3 scratches

When you are 18.1hh (Justin), it helps to have a tall buddy. I haven't measured peanut in about 9 months....my guess is he's almost as tall, but not as wide

Peanut has been in training for the last three weeks, he is back for his Farrier Day tomorrow, and then he'll go back for one more week. I am lucky he's been in training 10 minutes up the road..... Everyone was happy to see him.

Sometimes I just like playing with my blind horse

Calling kids in for dinner šŸ“ø Alex Biederman (I am yelling at Finn "whoa" bc the gate wasn't all the way open, it was really muddy , and I didn't want him to slide into the fence or gate and he was coming in hot šŸ”„.....he's also mostly blind)

Peanut's first trot under saddle (it's been a bit over a month since his last ride). We've done a few ground driving sessions in between. He was SUCH a good boy.

Finn had a great morning ride... because he's mostly blind I talk to him constantly, when I am on him or not, it just helps him feel more settled. Alex talks to him as well so he can orientate himself to the person on the ground.

Welcome to the Funny Farm

Someday Iā€™d like to have an animal sanctuary dedicated to helping those animals who have lost their faith in humanity and show them that it is okay to trust humans again. But in the meantime I have started this page to follow the progress on my personal herd of rescue horses.

NOTE: Aria, Ronnie and Fin are my personal horses, they are a part of my family and thus not available for adoption.
