Princess Autumn



Wanted to take many photos of this engaging little horse so I could show her amazing progress. I'm still in the adjustment phase of having three horses and photo taking has sort of gone the way of blog writing, not so much these days. This one shot says it all for me - Autumn was once a princess and she has reclaimed her throne. I have become her personal minion. Can you read her expression? "Step lively there minion, fetch me my next course, how about some of that lovely beet pulp."

Three weeks have passed since we brought Autumn in. She has moved from being a horse in crisis to a much-less-but-still skinny horse who is full of life and energy. Well behaved and polite, she has clear preferences like "You can just take away this nasty grass hay and please return with my yumsy alfalfa." She has become my horse officially, our local rescue is full with only six horses. My little herd has become three. For now.

First Flowers in the General Pasture



On the last day of January, look what I found. Spring is still a faraway dream. Autumn is gaining weight. Three horses are considerably more work than two, as many of you know so well. I'm still seeking my rythym. For now Autumn will be staying with me. Our local rescue is "dormant" with six horses they are struggling to feed. We need a functioning rescue here on the coast.



Mud seems to be everywhere in my life. Shoes, bed, floors, stall, pen, truck. The blue skies in these photos were a brief and welcome respite from the rain that has returned this morning.
