Usually she rides Casey but during this lesson we decided to try something new: Cuervo. He is one of my rescues and best described as an ornery old man. He is great, loves trails but not a big fan of the ring. In fact he isn’t really a big fan of being told to turn. BUT he looks good! 
We finally got the roof of the barn painted.

The Donkeys… I haven’t posted about them in a while. They spent some time up in the front pasture with the goats because Izzy kicked them out of their stall. This week with the weather so nice I brought them back to hang out with the horses. They seem much happier here, even though they don’ have their stall any more.
The walk to the front pasture. The 8 barn horses (my 4 plus 4 boarders) are hand walked up the front pasture for grazing. This time when I was following 2 Chestnut butts (Izzy and Sunbun) they decided the would spook at the new tarp. But Rachael had it under control!
I got a new tractor last week. Yup after having my first Ford for less than 2 years it decides to die on me the Mechanic said that the repairs would cost more than it is worth. So sorry credit card but farm comes first. I didn’t take any pics of it because it looks the same only bigger than my last sexy beast. but you can see it in the background here.

Save Nash Surgery Fund
Nash is a handsome black Tennessee Walking Horse that I rescued in June of 2011. He was at a horse farm in where the farm owner knows the person that trucks horses to Canada for slaughter. The truck driver stops at her farm and unloads horses he thinks she can re-home. To prove to her the horses are quality he gets on them bareback when he unloads them. If she thinks she can find a home for them she puts the horses in her rescue barn. She has about 10 rescue horses at a time that are kept in standing stalls. They are tied up and not able to move or turn around. As a result from standing for so long the horses ankles swell.
This is the conditions Nash was in when I went to look at him. They said he was the nicest horse they had in the group but knew nothing of his past nor why he was on his way to Canada. I took a look at his deep brown concerned eyes and fell in love. I got on him that day to experience for the first time the wonderful gait (running walk) of the Walker. Here is my blog post from that day.
It was then that I noticed he had a bump on his lower abdomen. The farm owner played it off as not a big deal. When he got to my farm the vet checked him out and told me it was a hernia, in a very unusual spot. Normally they are around the belly button. The vet said to keep an eye on it and if I gets any bigger it will require major surgery.
Well unfortunately almost 2 years later the hernia has grown to the size causing my vet real concern and I have find a way to fund his surgery. You see Nash was rescued at the small cost of $600 the surgery will cost $5,000. I do not have the funds for this.
Here is where Nash’s big heart comes in. He is the biggest lover of all the horses. He comes up to everyone and is so gentle he licks your hand like a dog. He loves kisses and hugs. Really everyone who has met in falls in love with him and they have convinced me to raise funds to pay for the surgery.
We finally got the roof of the barn painted.
