Howdy Friends! Saturday loved butterflies. He loved tiny blue ones that bounced from bloom to bloom. He loved big yellow ones that floated with ease on gentle breezes. He trotted behind butterflies as they glided carefree and shiny. Saturday snuggled in flowers of many colors, his eyes big and wide. Only his tail moved, he always wagged his tail. His tail was connected to his heart, and it always waved love. Even in flowers where he watched butterflies land on his nose. “Why do you love butterflies?” A shiny red one asked him one day. “Because butterflies bring color to flowers to make them happy,” Saturday said. “Flowers need color to be flowers, so it’s good butterflies know to color them.”

ALL CORRECT POSTURE BEGINS WITH THE FEET
Howdy Friends! I was asked yesterday, “How do you engage the core to get a straight back. Is this more for a sway back horse or to improve topline?” I responded, “This is much more than a "sway back horse." In fact ALL sway backs are a result of lack of proper posture, body carriage for years - until the body so breaks down there is no hope of correcting.

Howdy Friends! When we look at a horse’s hoof, we should see one of the most important parts of the anatomy of the horse. The part that moves on the earth, connects the horse to life and limb, flexes, grips, sees, feels, communicates needed information to the brain, helps the heart pump blood through itself legs, muscles and organs, absorbs shock, and grips for traction. Why then do some see a part of the horse that only holds the horse up, and needs man-made steel nailed to it? The horse’s hoof is designed for so much more, we should not make it blind, deaf, numb, stiff, silent, and non-functional. We should keep it alive, vibrant, and beautiful. ~ Gitty Up, Dutch.

Howdy Friends! More from my book, FROM THE BANKS OF LITTLE BEAR CREEK.
"Buck rolled his hat around in his hands, running the brim between his thumb and fingers in his usual fashion when pondering a situation. Tom used the quiet moment to size up Smokey. He figured he was probably in his early forties and wore clothes at least one size too big, making his long lanky frame look spindly and weak. Tom noticed his hands were the hands of a hard-working man; long fingers dark tanned, and calloused where they should be. Beneath his gray felt hat that looked to be as old as the man was a weather-beaten leathery face with uninteresting brown eyes."

Howdy Friends! ... “Kessy walks a lot. Saturday asked her one day why she walked a lot. To Saturday nothing was better than sleeping in a sun spot. Except maybe supper, that was important too. So Saturday always wondered why Kessy walks a lot, he wondered so much he would often follow her just to discover why. Sometimes following Kessy on her walks Saturday would discover most interesting things like purple leaves, or wet water in streams.” (EXCERPT, A DOG NAMED SATURDAY: find it here www.adognamedsaturday.com ~

Howdy Friends! "Over-vaccination Of Our Horses – Danger!" ... "A practice that was started many years ago and that lacks scientific validity or verification is annual revaccination. Almost without exception there is no immunologic requirement for annual revaccination. Immunity to viruses persists for years or for the life of the animal…… Furthermore, revaccination with most viral vaccines fails to stimulate an anamnestic (secondary) response…. The practice of annual vaccination, in our opinion, should be considered of questionable efficacy…” Excerpt from Current Veterinary Therapy, Volume XI, published in 1992"
