Daisy, Rex & Our friend Charlotte

On Sunday our friend Charlotte came to viz, had an amazing ride on Daisy(2nd pic) and Rex(1st pic) (both Adoptable horses-check them out) ! We had planned on goin on a trail ride together, but we then had family(Howies cousin and his Gal Kaye) come to visit, so just Charlotte rode, she adores both of them and had a wonderful time! Both horses behaved well, Charlotte, who has ridden here for years prob enjoyed herself more without us fuddy duddies slowin her down!!! Check out the Adoptable Horses Tab for more pics of them and our other lovely horses looking for great new homes! Each adoption funds the next rescue!!!

Daisy

Yesterday evening after speaking to family that was inquiring about Daisy, our adoptable QH mare, I got the "itch" and had to toss the saddle on and go for a cruise! There have been many times since we started the rescue that I have regretted every day that I didn't ride a certain horse before it left! Daisy is one of those horses... I am thoroughly enjoying this great mare. We have ridden her with both english and western saddles and bareback. She behaves well even after long periods of time in between rides. She is an enjoyable ride and a nice horse to be around. To see more pics of Daisy check out the Adoptable Horses tab.

I am thrilled to let you know how wonderful Echo (that is what we called the horse we outbid the meat buyers for last Sat), turned out to be. He is older than we thought and does need his teeth done. He rides and handles like a dream. He has a lovely smooth gait, I am so happy we saved him!!!

My good friend came out to meet him, she was looking for a good older horse for her daughter. They brought him home this morning. Later this aft we went to visit and low and behold, what do I see as we are pulling up the driveway, the youngest daughter riding Echo! My heart swelled and it did bring tears to my eyes! I felt like the proudest Mom in the world!! He is a tolerant fellow, such a good good boy!! Oh MY GOSH!! To think he could have gone for meat last week! YaY!!!
