MY NEW FILLY. TRULY ONE OF A KIND!









This TWHBEA filly by DUNN CASHED IN is the newest addition to my broodmare band. She was born may of 2006. Darling's dam is by the Champagne stallion Hillbilly's Bud Light, a stallion I have long admired and considered breeding my mares to.

Champagne Dunn Darling LS (name pending)









Most duns in the TWHBEA are fasle or fading duns. Cash is a true dun siring true duns. Here you can see her dun stripe well.

Arrow's Blue Gold












This is Diamond Dust's first colt. I want to thank Elsie Darrah for these photos. She is a nice lady with nice horses. She can be found in the links section under Last Chance Farms.

Isn't he a dream to behold. I wonder where he is now. I would like to hear from anyone who knows.

Arrow's Something Else










This is Diamond Dust's second colt, born last year. He is still in Colorado at the Lazy Y Arrow. His sire Flash, is also the sire of my filly Taffy.

376 years is a lot of history behind 1 little horse









Arrow's Mystic Gold can trace her "Family Tree" (Tail-Male, Sire & Dam) back to "Ras el Fedowi" (aka The Darley Arabian, circa 1700). BTW, "Ras el Fedowi" translates to "The Headstrong One", but I wouldn't tell her that !

Can you believe it?









Also, through other horses, she traces back to all 3 Foundation Thoroughbreds (Darley,Beyerly & Godolphin) and Fairfax's Barb Mare (foaled about 1630!)








I saw some snakes yesterday. I was in the house looking out the front window and saw that the two old hens (Ameraucanas, they lay blue eggs) were out in the road. They were all worked up over something. I looked and saw what looked like a tire retread or something, maybe an innertube. As I looked it started to move around. It was something, a black snake?

snakes












A couple of black snakes. What were they doing. I had to go out and get a better look, just like my hens. My first though was that they were mating. I called out my house mate to see. Didn't know they did it like that, she was on her back and he was on top. But then we notice she is dead. We decide to move them out of the road and the male bites and holds on the the female. Or so we thought. Now I wonder if it was a fight. He later returned to eat the dead snake. Anyone know?

Blue Gold










Here are a couple of lesser seen photos of Blue Gold. I believe they were taken while he was in training for the state fair.

She gets it from her Daddy


Diamond Dust has always liked to be a filthy mess. Now we know where it came from, lol. Blue Gold was a beautiful stallion as we can see here.

Jetstar Sunrider



This is the Sire of Blue Gold. This photo was taken when he was a fat old trail gelding. A much loved fat old trail horse.

getting new tires


Last week before I went to Salem I needed to get new tires. This is the reason I didn't make the Hartville show. We made it just off the farm and had a blow out. You can see the house over Richard's shoulder.

Justin


This is Justin. I met him and his family this last weekend when I took Hag to meet her intended. Justin is a 6 year old walking horse gelding that is ready to be started under saddle. Though he wore one as a yearling he did not seem to know how to lounge properly. I hope to get him going well enough to start the rest of the family on their way to trail riding soon. I believe everyone needs something to take them away. Something they have controll over, or at least have a say in things. Hopefully you will be seeing more of Justin and his girls soon.
