A Cold Saturday!

It was a cold and rainy day today, beginning with lots of snow falling in the pass early this morning. It was beautiful...

Driving in the pass...

Snow peaked mountains behind the ranch. Nevada means "snow covered" in Spanish...

Big clouds over Okay Corral...
Big Pasture...
More Big Pasture...

Presidio in the Medical Unit. We are treating a cut on his leg. He has really settled down since he arrived...
Trucker eating breakfast in his Medical Unit...

We changed his Magic Boot to a better fitting boot for more protection for his legs from the bungees. So far, it's looking like it's working...

A good shot of Okay Corral looking out toward Big Pasture...

Aztec during the Breakfast Club. He tried to spit on me today- talk about spitting on the hand that feeds you! Sigh...

ADOPTED HORSE UPDATES: Napa, Cocktail and Fax

From the adopter of Cocktail (now named Shiloh) and Napa (now named Liberty):

"Believe it or not, today it has been 6 months since we adopted the girls! I must say I love them more every day.

Liberty is doing great! She stands for mounting now, well, not every time but most of the time. When I talked to her she acts like she understands exactly what I'm saying. The farrier loves her, she stands there with her eyes closed while he works. She still checks pockets for treats too!

Shiloh and I have a real close friendship going. She watches every move I make and comes to me every time. She just loves to be brushed and fooled with. However, she is like me in that her weight is climbing! We are both on a seefood diet, we see food and we eat it. Both of us need to lose some weight. I just love her and she is so much fun to ride.

I just want to say thank you Jill for what you do. I can only hope these 2 horses are as happy and they have made me."

Shiloh

Liberty

Fax, now named Jax, is also doing very well in his new home. He is really coming along with all of the attention and work his new owner is giving him. We are so happy to hear he is doing so well! Great job, Jax!

A Nice Tuesday...

A beautiful day, cold but with clear blue skies...

Thank you to Sally and Leo who cleaned and organized our tack room! Yippeee!

Look how organized it is! The gray and blue drawers are Tony's traveling case/trunks from his play, Some Like it Hot. We toured the country for a full year during the road show. That was an adventure!

My bridles, all neat and clean. Ahhh!

Little Trucker is looking good...

He is eating well and his Magic Boot and Shoe is working very well...
