Shadie is the best doggy ever. When he was little he was abused, in fact thats where we found him, tied to a railroad track. When shadie was younger, he was ambitious and hyper, he was the fastest highest jumping dog there was. Now that he has slowed down and reached 9 years old he’s still a little shaky from the last year. First, on our way to a camping vacation towing a huge RV with shadie and our other two dogs in the back, shadie decided to see what pavement felt like flying down the highway at 60 mph. My mom driving a few cars behind found him in shock wandering on the side of the highway. Then after multiple vet visits and a lot of love, he recovered. Then disaster struck while on a trailride with me and two of my friends, he was kicked in the head after a group of hikers ran toward our horses, clearly excited to see riders, after screaming at them to stop! Tigger my horse reared up and flipped around causing the domino effect, horses where rearing and bucking (darn kids!) in the process shadie was kicked in the head so hard as to cause a fracture to his scull. So we love you Shadie! And we hope you stick around, no more trail rides or truck rides!
The Weather here has been insane from 68 degree farenheit temparatures to snow to pouring rain, we have been wondering when mother nature will decide on our season. Today we had to cover our heads with grocery bags as we walked out of the grocery store! I definately believe in the global warming theory last year in February it would be dumping snow not sun and rain!
this is the exact same as my dad’s new truck but it doesn’t have the lift!
I’m soo exited! My Dad just got a cute new toyota tacoma, it’s bright blue and it has a three inch lift. Something my uncle Jason would be very proud of. I’m thinking that maybe if we have a new truck my dad is thinking about a horse trailer! Wouldn’t that be great! Everyone needs to start suggesting horse trailers he has got to eat sleep and drink horse trailers alright everyone? Okay ready set GO!
Coming from a ranch were a post to tie your horse to is actually lucky to be found, at a fancy barn crossties are the only acceptable place to tie your horse. Wich is rather different place than throwing a lead on the gorund to ground tie a horse.
This is a picture of Doc in the crossties with Pricilla our trainer.
The other day I went out at sunset to the ranch area where the horses where cozily eating, this picture is of Pharoah saying hi, isn’t he cute?
Pharoah, my aunts arabian would love to Meet Thunder, Thunder is an award winning stud colt arabian. He is still under 2 years old, witch is why he is called a stud-colt. He is so amazing, he has won every halter show he has been entered in. Halter: a test of conformation, and charachteristics of a breed, A human leader runs the horse wearing only a halter around a ring while the judje watches the movements, and look of the horse, the best looking horse according to the breed charachteristics is the winner.
Shake Me is a quater horse mare, she competes in the aged-mare halter competitions, she is only four, so now she is starting to compete in Western pleasure as well,in the picture, notice how woderful her neck and head are proportioned, she has had several judges comment on her front end. She is beautiful all over, but she is hard to get ready for halter competitions because she is soooo big!

Alex, one of my other pets, got a bath today, she looed so cute with her drowned rat look… she is so cute and she is so helpful and sweet, we love her. We got a coffee table with a pull out drawer, alex was stuck in there for about 5 hours after she jumped in and it got closed without knowing she was in there. She also spent about 3 hours in the dryer when we were doing laudry she jumped in there and what do you know got locked in… as silly as she is she still adorable we love her!
Doc, I really wnat to know why you sweat when it’s below 0ut outsde!!! It’s weird how clod it gets in the barn and yet the horses still sweat! I am bunded up in about eighteen coats and Doc is sweating! Crazy horses! I always feel bad for the horses that are outside, so for christmas all the horses got blankets. I think Tigger would rather have a blanket on, but Pharoah still doesn’t like blankets, Keiki loves her blanket. And Maverick not only looks adorable, he likes his blanket as well. i’m glad they all got what they wanted for Christmas.

Reining is a complex western horse, similar to dressage, In one part of reining once you get advanced enough, you have to coordinate not only the movements of your horse but those of a baby cow, or for those who know a calf. We have 3 horses in reining training, Amber, Princess and Chippy. They are approaching the state in their training where they will start working with a cow. Wish themn good luck!
