We are doing well here on the farm. The horses have loved the rain & I admit I'm so grateful to see it come. I know.......I'll eat those words later ;)

Just wanted to wish all the loving, devoted fathers that we have been blessed to know here & across the world..........we appreciate your devotion to your child, or children & wish you a day of love, relaxation, fun, laughter & being surrounded by all whom love you!!! Bear hugs

A HUGE thank you Vicki Harden, far beyond words for all you continue to do to keep us floating. I am bawling this morning, tears of complete gratitude & relief beyond anyone's understanding. THANK YOU from every cell of my being for loving this herd

05/10/2024

We had a great weekend last weekend with the kids, horses & chores & now the weekend is upon us again. Looking forward to accomplishments despite the heat ;) Have a great weekend folks

We've been very busy here ;) 7 months of not being able to keep up pastures has been a huge chore to fix. We are most certainly getting there & thanks to my son, w**ds 0, son 100+! He has spent many hours each weekend & on his lunch breaks spraying the pastures. We have some Brazilian & South American w**ds that have never been here before, that are brutal & spread with an insane quickness. Thanks to my son & our teens, they are dead, dug up & burned to a crisp ;) That way no seed pods hopefully to restart them. One is called a soda apple plant. The thorns on this particular, completely useless w**d are unbelievable. The seed pods look like baby watermelons. It is causing havoc for farms across our Nation right now. https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/care/w**ds-and-invasive-plants/tropical-soda-apple.html
If you spot it, spray it, then dig it up & burn that sucker! I warn you the thorns are brutal & you'll need leather gloves & long sleeves, a pitchfork & your cuss jar ;) The second one is the Brazilian pepper which is choking out our natural forest across Florida. It looks ornamental & pretty easy to recognize https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/habitat/invasive-plants/w**d-alerts/brazillian-pepper/ The 3rd one we fought a battle of wits with is the air potato, which literally chokes everything on a forest floor & trees out. It has a sticky glue like sap inside of the stems. It has tubers so you must kill it to the tubers & we dig it up & burn the plant & the seed pods which each hold a million seeds https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/care/w**ds-and-invasive-plants/air-potato.html None of these belong here, all are invasive & cost Floridians a fortune each year to keep in control through out our pastures, forest & wetlands.

A huge thank you to Daniel for working so hard the past few weekends with the herd & the chores. You have such a bright life a head of you son! We wish Jayda great success in her new beginnings of an education that will bring all her goals to life. You are one together young lady & make my heart so happy

Thank you from our hearts, both two legged & four Vicki Harden for always having the uncanny knack of knowing when we are drowning

04/18/2024

We've yet to get past the funeral, hoping very soon for everyone's well being. A lot to do. It does serve to remind us not to put off those arrangements, so the family isn't left unable to handle your final wishes, business, bills, etc. Part of loving those you love, is making sure that final ride is not filled with extra stress of how to handle things.

It also serves to remind us to make those treasured memories, because those carry us through these times. So hug those you love, hold them close folks. Tomorrow, never mind today is never promised. Bear hugs to all

04/11/2024

Please be patient with me if I'm AWOL. We've had another death, our 3rd in just a few months. Every spare moment I can manage will be to help those I love through this journey for a little bit.

Hug those you love folks & tell them you love them EVERY day, while you can

04/08/2024

Thank you Daniel for a great Saturday. Look forward to seeing you next weekend :)

Welcome aboard Jayda! I'm excited to have you with our crew young lady!

A good weekend of cutting back trees & hauling off tree debri for us. We start again to clear the fence line to re-fence! Let's hope no broken bones, illness, blasted storms & losses of those we love & forward, onward, through the fog we go!!

We did have a loss of a hen yesterday :( We have barn owls with fledged young ones right now. I do believe the loss was a good meal for the family. So though I loved that hen, Barbie went to a good cause. I did foul their try this evening. I imagine one of the parents is not fond of me now. I came to lock up the chickens just in time to foul her swoop down. Couldn't have been more perfect timing & my booming voice, as I saw her coming down, changed it from a swoop to a fast climb & gone. Amazing birds they are

It seems for the moment, we have ran the rabid pack out of here. I've been checking consistently & did till about 2 am. I apologize for those who were hassled, but honestly I can't prevent it on a public page. I can come out swinging when it happens & did. I had hand cramps from deleting LOL. That ban button is a wonderful tool

04/05/2024

For those with children under the age of 12 searching for equine therapy. Here's a list with three that I recommend consistently. The first through the third. The first has been actively helping our community for around 50 years & I've sent 100's upon 100's to them over the 14 years we've been actively helping our community. I used to help my farrier & best buddy, Don Smeltzer raise funds for them before we opened. All three are in high demand, may have a waiting list & all of them give top notch to the kids. I have NEVER had negative feed back on any of them period. I appreciate all they do & their devotion to the Tampa Bay Area families in need of help. Here we do life skills from the ground up using our horses for ages 12 through graduation. Our turn over is slow, with a waiting list of about a year.

1. Bakas Equestrian Center North Tampa I believe they do all ages
2. Kiddy Up Hudson
3. Quantum Leap Odessa

We'd like to welcome a new young man coming to volunteer. Welcome Daniel. I look so forward to getting know you & helping each other along the way.

Keep it going spammers. Ya'll act like a pack of rabid dogs. Reported, blocked & deleted.

04/04/2024

Please folks if you get anymore messages asking you to donate, or buy something it's NOT us! Please text me, or message me! I've gone back 3 years of posts now that they posted on this morning. The Judith Barrett had already been blocked last year. She must have made a new account, same name. I'm sorry so many were blasted with this in a 3 hour time period this morning by these 3 disgusting human beings. Unfortunately, when they do this, they go hard, as know they will get caught. Shame they can't use their energy to do good.

04/04/2024

It seems we have scammers on our page. Their names, or aliases are, Judith Barrett, Nicole Ward, Christina Franklin, each going to our fund raisers & post through the morning, tagging our followers to buy "OUR T-shirts" through them. We DO NOT EVER, ALLOW PEOPLE TO FUND RAISE OR USE OUR LOGO, PICTURES TO SELF PROFIT, OR REPRESENT US. The only valid fund raisers are done by US to OUR Paypal, or Paypal giving account. All birthday fundraisers done by our followers are done through our Paypal accounts set up by FB.

I am currently reporting each posts & making a lawful report for theft of our content, logo & fraud. PLEASE beware of anyone who piggybacks on a charities fundraisers for THEIR profit.

Sign me madder than a wet hen with these greedy, low down, snakes & I'm trying hard to be polite. It takes a special kind of scum to scam donors to charities.

A HUGE thank you to Sue Gionett for contacting me this morning, hopefully before anyone was scammed and a HUGE thank you to Cindy Wadyka for contacting me too. They certainly were having a busy morning on this page. Getting my cuss jar now.

We've had some rain. I confess I had not watched the weather ;) Walked out this morning as hay was coming in & said well now.......rain is coming. Hustled to get all tended for the morning & beat the rain by literally minutes. It's been off & on, but luck was on my side at evening feed & it was off. 🤣

So all the grooming accomplished is in the gutter with the mud. Goose has once again managed to get her fly mask off, despite putting a halter over it. Her name should be Houdini, or Wizard. For the life of me, I couldn't find it either. I wonder if she eats them sometimes.

We had a large herd of deer in the back pastures tonight. They aren't afraid of me. So got to walk my pastures & look at them while they gave me a glance here & there. 3 young ones, no spotted ones at this time. I counted 12, but sometimes there's some in the brush you don't see. I sing Janis Joplin songs to them while I'm walking the pastures. Now I can't sing, but they will all lift their heads & just listen. Bless their hearts for not running, I sure would 😂

The herd is all good, sporting their pedicures, spoiled & some a bit sassy today. The mares are cycling & want to do things their way, which is the opposite of what they need to do. Sometimes it's smart not to argue, so I'm not above bribery & apple wafers do the trick ;)

Hope this finds you all doing well, healthy, happy & getting rest needed. Sending each of you a big ole bear hug

A great turnout at the Quail Run R.V. Park in Wesley Chapel, FL. The weather was perfect, it was in the 80's with beautiful sunshine.

Just a walk down memory lane of some of the 100's of children who have been through this gate. Many of whom still stay in touch, grown, through college, or on to their missions in life to lift others, protect others, heal others. How blessed I've been to be on this journey all these years. Time to get somehow the repairs done from all the storm hits & stoke the next generation for success! I'm so deeply honored to have shared in so many lives & heart broken for our two that are now in heaven. May God always hold you each close to him, while you carry the torch forward.

A walk down memory lane of a incredible being this rescue was so honored to have in our care. Justice's name still emits from the mouths of our Alumni with love & the BEST memories of a great being. I miss him & he remains a hero to me, for the love, patience & wisdom he shared with so many children.

On the day that Justice died, the bells stopped ringing. The small, inexpensive chimes, which had once tinkled reassuringly and guided the 31-year-old T’bred through darkness after his vision faile…

03/08/2024

To the Mesa family. I thank you for sharing your family with me this last dozen years. You will never fully realize the blessings your family has given me in sharing your lives & Becka with me. I love each of you with a ferocity that words truly can't express.

I wish you safe travels in your new journey & the blessings of God upon your new home always. May you find joy again in part from memories already made & the memories yet to make.

Knowing you were just up the road a piece has been a comfort for many years. Now, I will adjust to you're a far piece up the road, but still near always in heart. Love you each & never forget this

03/08/2024

Tomorrow is the big day folks! We will be running our tails off literally ;) Hope to see many of you there to collect a bear hug

02/26/2024

Everything is lining up for the car show. Folks working in the back ground, like Vince & Lynn. We are getting er done ;) Super excited, because we have so many people come by to give us love each year. That show of support feeds us for a long time. Just like those that visit the page & give us a lift of encouragement & love. Thank you to each of you, for the 14 years of love, encouragement, prayers & moral support
