Finally getting around to posting our emotional day here on Monday. Goldie decided to foal during a heat wave & sadly it was a dystocia presentation. Years ago I had a class on this at Colorado State and I’ve never gotten to use my skills and sadly I never wanted to but this was the day. I reached in and determined the foal was hind legs first & upside down. My husband came to help & I gave some drugs & we pulled the foal out. It was a beautiful bay or pearl filly and good size. (Sorry I do not believe in posting dead foal pictures). Goldie was pretty worn out & spent sometime in the stall recovering that afternoon. She’s been on antibiotics and is doing well. It’s always hard to lose a baby, but we have to realize that Horses do not have high fertility rates. Thank God at least Goldie is doing well.

08/12/2024

I found this review on my profile & I need to clarify the truth. This is the daughter in law of the woman who brought 2 mares to me for breeding. She bought them down south off a wild range breeding farm. She told me herself the mares foaled out on these huge acres of land & the mares were not touched. She told me she asked the owner which ones were available to buy & he said “whoever you can catch cuz they are wild.” So I had told her if she was going to bring them here for breeding they must be halter broke & not hard to handle. She told me they put a lot of training into both of them & they would not give me a problem. When they came it was obvious they were not easy to handle. It was very hard to tease them as they were both extremely hard to catch. I put them in a paddock that wasn’t real big as I didn’t have a smaller one which would have been even more ideal. The hours we put in playing games with a grain bucket just to catch them to tease, having them pull & give you rope burn, etc was terrible. We got the one mare bred but the other one never showed heat. About this time the lady told me she decided she wanted to change stallions and she wanted me to breed to a stallion I have that I can only do Collection with so I would have to AI the mare. I told her I was unwilling to do it because the horse was too dangerous to put in the stock and for me to AI. I scheduled the vet to come to ultrasound the other one & find out why she wasn’t coming into heat & when the vet came this mare was too dangerous for my vet to drug. She drug us around the pasture as my vet tried to get a shot in her. Now mind you my vet I had for probably 6 years at that point & she is awesome - very experienced & quick. She finally looked at me & said this is not worth either of us getting hurt over. This horse is too dangerous. So I told the people I was unable to breed her & they would have to bring another mare or do shipped semen after they worked with her so someone else (another vet) would actually be able to not get hurt doing it. They were upset with me about it. The first mare when we ultrasounded, found out she was pregnant with twins so the vet pinched one off but it was in a location that was hard to get at. So then they bad mouthed my vet who is a really good vet - one of the best around. So we then worked out a deal so she could breed the following year via shipped semen to a different stallion. No one was forgoing anything as she said. Shipped semen there are other fees involved so we worked that out. She sent me the paperwork on the Mare and then ended up changing to a different one. The mare got pregnant and when I sent in the paperwork to AQHA for the papers, I goofed up and listed the first mare instead of the second. So, when this lady went to register the horse, she sent me a not so nice message because she said I never listed her horse as getting bred. I looked into it and realized I listed the wrong Horse so I called AQHA and corrected it and they received their papers on their baby. So when this girl says that they never got their papers that is not correct and AQHA will verify that. I think they had to wait a week for me to do that because I broke five bones in my foot.This lady was very hard to deal with & her horses were terrible to deal with. This is a breeding facility & right on my contract it says they must be halter broke, etc. The time I put into these horses getting dragged around trying to get a job done and then to get yelled is just crazy. I’m just too nice and go out of my way to help people, but never again. These people will never be allowed to breed to another one of my stallions or buy anything from me. After everything I went through and then I’m the one being badmouthed it’s crazy. I’m not one to air dirty laundry, but when they put a nasty comment on my reviews, that’s not even true, I should be able to defend myself with the truth. I have someone that worked for me during that time that can verify all of this. He worked for me for four years until his wife’s parents got ill, and they had to move down south to take care of them. Most of my clients thank God are easy to deal with & so are their horses. Thank you to all my wonderful clients who appreciate what we do.

This is Penny who was one of my keeper mares but due to my health I am having to downsize. Penny is a rare silver dun two year old mare who is homozygous for black, so she can never produce a red based foal. She is at the trainers getting groundwork so she will be ready to go under saddle. She is sired by my silver stallion, A Silver Spark & out of my mare Dixie who produces big stout horses. She will be a good sized mare & very stocky. You can see photos of her dam & sire on my website. Message me for further information.

08/11/2024

I have decided to let everyone know I’m going thru cancer again. A lot of you know I had a rough battle in 2020 - 2021 with breast cancer. I was on chemo for a year - it nearly killed me & I had a blood transfusion. I had 3rd degree burns from radiation & had 7 cancer surgeries. It was grueling & rough & in the end I cured myself with ivermectin horse dewormer. I have studied cancer for 4 years. I kept wondering why I was still studying it, but the Lord was getting me prepared. He has used me to teach others. In February 2024 I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer metastasized to the liver and bones. Two doctors gave me 3 to 6 months to live. The first oncologist put me in a wheelchair and told me my bones were going to break, and after further testing told me she was going to admit me to the hospital. I refused. As soon as I found out, I had cancer I started using all natural products that I had learned about including ivermectin. I will not ever do chemo again, because I know the truth about it. if you start researching it and not by using Google, you’ll find out that lots of people die from chemo. It’s poison. While going through my first cancer journey, God put so many red flags in front of my face to show me that things that they do did not add up. I wasn’t sick until they poisoned me. This time around, I decided I am taking matters into my own hands because God gave us so many wonderful cures that do not harm us and he prepared me for such a time as this. One month after my diagnosis after I fired my first two oncologists I saw the third one. He had done blood tests and the original ones that were done a month prior were not pretty and my liver numbers were really high. (Before I knew I had cancer) I had started taking ivermectin horse dewormer after that and fenebenzole dog dewormer (read about the amazing Joe Tippens story & how many people cured cancer on this) and when I took the blood test, every single number was within the perimeters. When we did scans two months later, my tumors were shrinking. It’s been a roller coaster of hard times and good times, but threw it all I’ve pretty much worked long hours and it’s been a full time job just going to all the healing places I go to so I can detox & heal. There have been some rough patches, I can’t lie. But God is my rock and my fortress and he is guiding me and giving me strength beyond measure. I’m not one to feel sorry for myself or let things get to me. I never cried when they told me all these things & instead I leaned on the Lord & told myself I can do this. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. I decided to bring my horse numbers down so I can better handle this. I will continue to fight & use the strength of the Lord to navigate this journey & I will come out of this stronger & better equipped to help others heal naturally. Thank you for your prayers. God is using me & I have accepted the challenge.

Here is my orphan foal with his surrogate mom, Letty (the lifesaver). He is thriving at two weeks old & growing like a w**d. I put in over 40 hours feeding him & trying to get him to nurse from her & almost gave up. That’s not counting what the amazing couple that owns this mare put in. I’m so glad I did not give up because look how beautiful & special this is. I’m so in awe of the couple that had such a big heart to bring their awesome mare here (total strangers) after loosing their foal. Letty is so special to us & she gets plenty of love & extra treats for her service. God is so good!

I haven’t posted on here in a while so going to bring everyone up to date on my orphan foal. My mare Sparkle we had to put down from complications of foaling after she had a gorgeous Grullo champagne c**t. We milked the mare to get the colostrum, and I had lots of colostrum in the freezer from other mares over the years. The first day I fed him every 20 to 30 minutes to make sure he got the colostrum and when I took blood and checked his IgG 24 hours later, he mailed it at 2000 when they need to be over 800. 🥰. So that first night I fed him every hour and he didn’t want to drink out of a bottle, so I fed him by syringe. The following day it was every hour and by that night I had found a couple that was willing to bring their mare that had a three day old baby they lost and tried to use her as a Nurse Mare. Many, many hours were spent over the next few days & nights trying to teach him how to nurse, and finally we had success. The mare “Letty” I refer to as Letty the lifesaver is a wonderful mare that has taken him on as her own and this couple that I didn’t know - bless their hearts for their kindness in allowing us to use her. It is so amazing God allowed this beautiful connection!
