My new little rider

Little Miss Eliza Jane picked Haggatha as her fave. They are making a great team.

My ad for stable help

I ran an ad on the local craigslist. I used the following 4 photos.

This photo shows Robert's kids at Grant's barn. From left to right is Prince, Zane, Pie, and Grant on Hag.

Saddle time on my horses in trade for grooming time - $10 (Loxley) and general horse help. Experianced rider or lessons. Or will give lessons for $10 per for introductory lesson, a minimun of one half hour to a maximum of one full hour. Lessons are $20 for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of two hours. Must have own transportation.

This ad got a lot of response. It looked nice and time will tell how well it works out. The photos were take from my house to the barn at Blackwater and back. It is about a 20 minute ride thru the woods.

Spot... then and now

OK, so this is the wrong side, but as she was born sparkling white none of her color showed till just about weaning anyway.

Taffy as a weanling see her spot?
Taffy today, in the rain. She is now three.

Fred Judging

This is a photo I just found of Fred judging off of Hag. After all the other horses give out, she was not a bit "too tired".

Mystic and the mule

our little friend

When my folks were here to visit last month we got to see this little guy quite a bit, but only mom got to see the big one. Too bad no one would put in an appearance for my brother and his wife. This photo was taken in the big pond behind the pavilion.

Saddle Mule

Thank you Mike for the photo and Kim for the mule.

I like my chickens

One of my roosters with the Partridge Cochen hen.

Cooper Mules

Just a photo of the girls on any day. These are not my mules, I just get to drive them sometimes.

Permaculture

This is the house when I got here. The first of my gardening was the potted plants I brought down from MO.
This is the start. Strawberries and walking onions in the front. What else would go good in this bed? This year we have Pansies. We started with Pansies as I like Pansies.
Just some happy looking plants. It looks like strawberries and pansies can live together.
