You know elk never gets old for me and I have to share.
A compilation of Shenanigan’s belly scratchin’ methods.😆
Oh Pedro! There are easier ways to eat that.
Have you ever heard a rooster sneeze?
Smokie came to us pretty aloof. He didn’t want to be touched (he had painful skin problems) and seemed kind of shut down.
A lot of horses come to us that way. They do grieve family and friends lost. It takes time to let that go and Smokie has definitely come around. He makes mucking take forever because he demands so much attention.
Quinn is the loudest snorer. He sounds like a balloon slowly letting air out toward the end.🤣
Everyone coming in for dinner
I tried so hard to edit this video, make the pics stick around longer, add captions, etc. It didn’t work. This is the best I could do. I wish it captured the beautiful miracle it was.
A foal, rejected by its mom, was in need of a nurse mare. I had always said Shenany lactates and loves babies, but when introduced to this colt, she was not having it. I don’t know why, but I pulled Ginger out. Ginger, an elderly 28 year old broodmare with Cushings and arthritis. It was love at first sight. Not only does Ginger lactate (although she is now on meds to increase production), but she accepted this colt like she had foaled him herself. She is protective almost to a fault and so loving. Last night Ginger left TLERS to raise the baby and she couldn’t be happier. She will be back when the baby is weaned. We miss her, but what an incredibly important role she is playing. She made a miracle happen and we are blessed to have witnessed it. Ginger, you are a gem.❤️
The bucket hits just right.

Velvet is back! Lyn, our friend and volunteer, recently adopted Indy and Velvet. Velvet just wasn’t happy at her new home. No one’s fault and you just don’t know until you try it. Sometimes horses are great in a large herd setting but don’t adjust well when it’s a herd of two. Thank you for recognizing there was a problem Lyn. We want the horses happy, and just as important, our adopters happy. We didn’t want Indy alone so Moonshine has joined him. I meant to get pics of Moonie at her new home with Lyn, but Velvet is a handful and didn’t want to load in the trailer.
Our lady fox has officially moved into her den on our property. She moves out for winter but comes back to deliver her babies in the Spring.
Buffy the beefalo’s hair is coming out in clumps. She LOVES when we pull it out.
Rosie looks so good! She was feeling some kind of way today after dinner. Lol
Buffy loves her scratches especially during shedding season. Suzanne is using a back scratcher. Lol. It works great! We carry it in the ranger just for her.
Velvet loves coming out of the pasture for people time so much. She rather skip dinner to follow the ranger out of the gate. Ugh! And the mud. Please excuse the mud. It’s that time of year!
