Yes. I know. It's been ages & I haven't written anything & I'm a slacker & a dead beat.
Yep. That's about it.
Actually we've been working.
Working & working & working.
Putting up new fencing, repairing barns, weeding, mowing blah, blah blah.
I either need to clone myself, have a few more teenage children or hire a farm hand.
So anyway...what were talking about?
Oh!
Horses!
So...this is Paisley.
Paisley is a 2 year old filly from... any guesses?
Paisley!
We picked her up at the BLM facility in Hines.
Isn't she pretty?
This next picture was the first look we had of her at the BLM corrals.
This was actually the first picture I took of any of the horses that day. Pretty cool huh?
We actually went there looking for a gelding but they had, for some reason, just shipped out a bunch of young geldings & of the ones left it seemed like everyone was on a "list" of horses we couldn't adopt.
Sigh.
This was one of the geldings we couldn't have. Isn't he pretty?
And this. Oh my gosh THIS...sigh.
The buckskin mare on the right? She is one of the ones we saw on the website & wanted to see.
She had just foaled. See that beautiful little grulla foal in the center?
Ohmygosh.
I wanted them so bad.
So bad.
I may have cried.
But gentling a mustang is a job enough with out throwing a foal into the mix & after agonizing over it I finally made up my mind it just wasn't a good idea.
Sigh.
So we picked Paisley. And they brought all of the fillies in & cut her out.
And ran her into the chutes.
And we brought her home & now she's ours.
But wait!
There's more!
But until I get my clone you'll just have to wait because, alas, I have to go rebuild a barn wall.
Blessings.
