Lola

Well Layla has a sister....her name is Lola. They both crack me up. Lola is a bit younger than Layla. I just love the both of them dearly.
Mini still hasn't foaled. Any time now. Will breed her back to Amber mini stud Jack. He is a paint too and so is Tootsie.
Day after tomorrow is the surgery consult.

Zippers & Layla

Ok so Layla knows how to operate zippers. Smart little booger.
She keeps me on my toes for sure. She is being registered  as a service /support companion. 
She got a complete bath this evening. ...she was really good. Didn't scream at all. Lol.
I'll be going in for surgery in the next couple weeks so all you who wish for me to drop dead here is your chance.
Dr put me on some anxiety meds. Now I just don't care about anything.  Lol.
Oh well.

Layla

Named the baby Layla. She comes when I call her, she spends most all day with me either playing with my fingers or sleeping. She is such a sweet girl. She'll go to work with me tomorrow. I like having my own schedule and the fact that I can pretty much do as I please. Wish I was off though.

So Blessed

I've got the most beautiful baby. I got her as a gift and out of anything in the world I wouldn't want anything but her. She is so sweet and cuddly. I got my precious little gift yesterday.  :)

Angus

Well Angus found a friend finally. Takara and he were grooming one another when I went to check on Tootsie a little bit ago. Then he followed me to the gate and I stood there and snuggled him for a bit.
He is so sweet. I can't wait until he is able to be ridden. I sure do love the big lug.

Life on the Farm

Life is great on the farm. It is a busy life that's for sure. I've gotten sort of a petting zoo started for the grandkids.  It's fun. The tiny goats are a blast.

I've got a beautiful Gypsy Vanner/Fresian gelding. He is something else. I really like him and he is different.  I can not wait till I get to ride him. He is so sweet. He will have special colors and will be very handsome under saddle.

My mini Tootsie is due anytime  now. I sure love that little mare. My friend Amber is going to let me breed her back to her mini stud if I choose to do so.

I'm down to riders pretty much now and of course my retired Josie.
We trail ride our horses and just generally enjoy them. I don't get to ride as much as I want but that's because I do work full time and I've also been ill with Graves Disease.
My illness is the reason for the downsizing. I will start radiation treatment in the next week or 2. Blood work has to be done, then a nuclear test about iodine uptake, then radiation.  Ok back to life on the farm......

We've picked 2 huge mixing bowls full of fresh strawberries from our strawberry patch. Garden is well on its way too.

The fated calf is about ready to go be butchered. I'll not raise another. I hate cattle unless they are on my plate.

Life is good and we are happy and that's all that matters. No one outside of this farm matters.

Time for some summer fun!!!!!

Read Carefully

Awe

Melissa and I haven't talked in the last month, life getting in the way for both of us, do she sent me these beautiful flowers yesterday.  Thank you Mrlissa.

Peaches

Even though the camera on my phone sucks, which it won't before long cause I'll go get a new one, Peaches is a stunning mare. I adore her.

Nosey?

Since there are creepers on my blog here is something for you to talk about

Studs....sold
Bella.....sold
Abby.....sold
Beau.....sold
Diamond (tricks full sister) sold
Kai......for sale
Lacy.....for sale

And possibly more......

Why???

I'm fixing to start radiation and while that's not your concern thought I'd give you something to talk about.

Have fun.

WARNING

I'd like to address a couple things:
Nicole Alley I am tired of your basic harassment and request it to stop. I do not speak your name to anyone as I have better thing to do with my life. As far as Bo is concerned and your snotty comment about well I'm glad to see he is finally being used.......He just turned 3 years old, was Wes' horse and Wes was the one that worked with him. He was never my horse. Shut your fucking pie hole where we are concerned. You have ZERO clue what we do with our horses and are talking out of your ass. This is a formal request for you to stop your bullshit or I will take it to my attorney and yes I really have one. STOP! CEASE! DESIST!!
I've not said shit about you nor do I even think about you but I have a lot of people that come to me with what you post and say so you best be very careful.  At least I don't advocate breeding grade stock. I don't breed at all. No stallions not that that's any of your business.
Go about your business and leave me alone. If you're truly trying for your 501c3 then your time might be better spent cleaning up your place.

Gizmo and Cosmo

They have become super attached to me. They quietly call for me. If they hear me they come running. They are very sweet and lovable.  

Cute overload

On with the cute overload.  I just brought home my pigmy's today. Never thought I'd like them so much. And tonight they sleep in the house downstairs because I don't yet trust the dogs.
I also brought home my mini mare that is going to foal very soon. Pics tomorrow. She is a paint. I'm liking this pony thing.

Mini, Arabian, tiny goats, kittens

Lol ok it's official I've lost my mind.
I got a mini and she is due to have her baby any minute so will be going to get her tomorrow.
I decided to get 2 little pigmy goats. I don't know what more to say about that. Wes may kill me.
The Arabian should have been here today but had a stupid meeting for work. Ugh.
I've picked out 2 kittens to bring home from Jennifers too. Hmmm. I may have lost my mind.
The goats will live in the front yard. I hope Rex likes them.

Ugh!

Ugh this whole selling horses has been extremely hard. It's not gotten any easier. Especially when I know one is great turns out to be an ass and tries to kill me.  I'm tired.  I'm thankful that I have friends that have asked me how I'm doing through all this. The ones I thought I'd hear from I dont. It's ok. I'll survive. 
Yah I do realize the phones go in both directions but I guess it hasn't occurred to anyone that I'm working a lot trying to get ahead, I'm selling a bunch of my horses and that HURTS.  I don't feel like calling and hearing more of how you disapprove of my decisions, or my horses or the way I lead my life or anything else. I don't call cause I have nothing to say. People should know me well enough by now to know this is a rough time, that I just don't want to talk. As far as you thinking you're the only one making an effort you're full of shit.
I have put everything I've had in my horses. Some put their everything and spend stupid amounts of money on shoes, cars, clothes, whatever your thing might be. My THING is my horses and frankly sick of hearing about it. I don't give a fuck who thinks what anymore.
Again I'm tired.
Soon I am going to go have radiation done. I'm just hoping it doesn't make me sick.  I'll basically be living in the spare room. I have to wash my clothes separately,  do my own dishes, no kissing hugging, snuggling with my dogs or Wes. How long is dependent on the dose of radiation I get. Oh you wonder how I'm feeling about this???? Oh wait no you don't cause you've never asked. Again......that's ok.....I'll be fine.
Hell will freeze over before I pick up the phone and call. I'm pretty sure this has run its course. Oh well.
It's late,  I've got to get up tomorrow as much as I don't want to, as bad as my body is as been messed up by this disease. But I'll get up and I'll keep fighting until I win. My dr says it will all change. I'm losing hair, gaining weight, hurt all the time can't remember 5 minutes ago. I'm just so over all this and don't need it. I'm tired of people making me feel bad about myself and on top of it all I'm fighting to keep going. I thank GOD every day for Wes and a couple others. I love you Wes. Sooooo much. I look forward to going to ride together this summer.
Done venting...................

Spring

The spring has sprung. This is the best year yet for the flowers we brought from the old house in holt.

Updates

My new Arabian gelding. Broke to ride, side passes, big boy. Aside from the couple youngsters I'll have nothing but riding horses which includes my stud. He will be trained well. He was free. We shall see what he's made of.

Beau....17 hands......a very big boy but a very nice ride. Rode him for the first time today. He is good boy.

Lacy, still stays fat on air.

Lacy and in the background my blue roan Royal.

Rewarding Day

Well here is my 3 year old Pistol aka Remembering Tradition.  I've raised him since he was a weanling. Today he got his big boy saddle on for the first time. He handled it with grace and charm. 

I'm super proud of him and we will work doing this more tomorrow.  

Lots of accomplishmentstoday for sure.

Good boy

Angus was in the little pasture today to get his graze on. He usually leans out as far as he can to get the grass on the other side of the fence. I figured he'd fall out of the fence and I'd find him in the yard. Lol. Well he was still in the pasture when I got home. They actually put themselves up in their turnout too. Josie, Takara and Angus go in there so they can eat.
Oh yah at the time of this writing IT'S RAINING AGAIN!!! Sick of the rain and the mud.

Mixed

Bo (far side kid) my halter stallion is sold. Hmmmm. I'm not upset, but yet not really happy. Just kinda here. I'm ok  it's just a weird feeling.
I think a weight is being lifted. Hopefully sell 2 more this weekend.
