Yes it's cold. But this video will warm you up when you laugh constantly for more than 60 seconds.

*Bowie is somewhere in the ballpark of 40. He's got a coggins from 1997 stating he was 10 and the gal was told by her vet she was swindled and he was older than that when she bought him in '97*
Bowie and 4 of his buddies have gone to The Dodge Ranch to live in the Retiree Pasture for our "less adoptable" Oldies, so they don't spend their last golden years in a pen. The rest of the Old Guys are all still here at home with me, because I can't live without them. 💕

Buttermilk
Buttermilk was a buy out. She came to us severely lame and with an injured eye. Xrays revealed she needed expensive surgery or the last act of kindness, her pain was constant. We were unable to offer her the care she needed. That's when the angels at Rocky Mountain Horse Rescue stepped in. Bini and Kris took her in and she went to Littleton Equine Medical Center for surgery. She's now starting a pain free life for the first time in a long time. We are eternally thankful for our great partner rescues. Teamwork saves lives!
Today we welcomed 6 surrenders from a Wyoming dude ranch. These mares are all 20+ except the Appaloosa who sadly has vision issues and wounds from hitting a fence. A few are broodmares only and a couple are broke, but we are a way from evaluations under saddle. We will now start their intake vetting. There's a lot of vet bills upcoming so we wouldn't turn down any assistance with those. These 6 officially mark our first dude horses for 2025! Every year we assist more than 60 camp/dude horses and we are getting an early start for '25.
Best way to ring in the new year. Headed out with 90 or so friends! Heath Marshall Horsemanship
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
The Night Before Christmas- CHRN Style
Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the stable,
Not a creature was stirring,
Just like that old fable.
The buckets were hung,
The halters were too.
For Kristine cleaned the stalls,
Till they looked new.
Ponies and horses were all bedded down,
Through the night's bitter cold,
Waiting for morning to come round.
Me in my night shirt
Pete in his... um... nevermind
Were finally sleeping
(Though my back really hurt)
When out in the pasture
We heard a loud crash
Louder than Tigger,
demanding his mash.
I ran outside as fast as I could,
Pulling on boots and my carhartt hood.
I went through the gate
And what did I see,
But old Saint Nick
Headed right for me.
I smiled and waved
He laughed and chuckled,
Then sat down his bag
Unlatching the buckle.
With a soft voice he said,
"I've brought this for you,
To give gifts to the horses,
It's something someone must do.
Snacks and treats,
Cookies and toys
Apples for the girls
Carrots for the boys...
These horses need to know
That there's love out there
That someone needs them,
That we all really care.
I'm short on time,
But I've got this to say,
I couldn't forget them
There's just no way.
They've been forgotten,
Too often it seems.
But in their eyes you see
Hope and light still beams.
So give them a pat,
Or a scratch if they need,
And this special note
Be sure to read."
I took the bag,
The food, the note
And tears filled my eyes,
When I read what he wrote.
-To each critter
Finding themselves sad,
Homeless on Christmas,
No you've not been bad!
There's a person out there,
For each of you.
It's just that those who can help,
Are truly too few.
But here you're safe,
And that way you'll stay.
Until you find your homes
Every sorrel, every bay.
Full tummies and love,
You'll never lack.
Tonight Christmas treats
From Santa's own sack.
So keep your heads up,
Don't give up heart.
Each one of you
Is God's work of art.-
I made the rounds
In the co
Little Girls and Little Ponies
Sometimes you just know it's all gonna work out fine 👌
❤️ These are days when I love my work ❤️
Our sale barn buy pony is feeling like showing his cantankerous side, though it's also clear his trust won't be easily won. I'm thankful he's got a great foster for the next month so he can get a lot of individual attention and care. He sure needs it. He's too thin under all that hair, and his feet are pretty bad. I have no doubt he's an older gent. Having some stability the next month without stress will be a great starting point. I'm thankful we have a network of amazing people to help us, and the horses, along the way.
"Why aren't you accepting adoption appointments yet? The snow is gone."
Well... ours isn't 😒
I cannot wait to be able to move forward with our indoor vet and training building!
Having a wee bit of wind, so turn your volume up to hear me 😆
