There is the nicest picture of Gracie and Tucker I added as well.. I threw in a before shot of chicken house to show how far its come with its shinny new roof and all..

Gus The Donkey

Yes I'm behind yet again and these are pictures were taken back in October.. I'm taking time to get through my pile of pictures and post them even if they are old LOL.. Any how here is Gus on a day he was learning to be a good donkey.. Yes I believe the picture with his ear spread is his form of the expression you can go to *H*.. I believe he was totally PO'd at me this day.. He often will spread those long ears when i assume he is not happy.. Very cute but very serious in his mind..

Catching Up

Here are pictures from a great day last month we enjoyed watching Gracie run in cross country..
Tucker was having a bawl with his sisters and friends..

October 18th

OK again I find myself back logged.. My life has been very busy with holiday and harvest its been super full.. Anyhow last month Toms mom got a small heard of horses and three of the off spring are foals by my stallion.. They are fun to get to see and handle since they arrived we are catching up and feet and few things they are behind on.. Red the sorrel has really picked up on her looks as I wormed her and put her on Equine JR she has taken off, she was angel getting her feet done both hinds were split high up centers from being super long.. I took a few pictures after they got here and were getting settled with there new homes. Star(darker palomino with black hoofs) the filly born last year was busy trying to make friends with Vee(lighter palomino filly) her half sister here.. Vee is not happy with this at first but as of today they are super tight.. Vee is very out going and very fun gal but not into this rushed friend ship on this day.. Star is as Vee is super friendly and so far both foals seem to be a delight. It is fun seeing that they are more pasture raised with less daily hands on than mine are that they let you work with them, and I've walked both and worked with them and they act just identical to there siblings here.. Star had a very tangled mane full of burrs and you can see in picture that it was a job getting it out.. She stood perfectly still for me to do it and I had her here a day.. Any how the picture of my grullo who had decided to some how take half her side out is my Lexi.. We awoke to her standing with a very large side of her missing and big flap of hanging skin.. She was pretty upset and it took one hour to load her and she is a pretty good loader.. She spent a night at vets and got stitched up and looks much better.. She must have bumped her knee as well as it was swollen up and had to have it wrapped.. She is doing well and healing wonderfully.. She loaded like a dream when we left vet and was more calm.. Any how hope to get caught up in a day or so..

Survie & His Blankie

We had a cold spell and so he got a blankie and he's not found it to his liking.. He is finding all kinda ways out of it.. Here are some pictures with it on, while he was trying and succeeding in removing it, and some of his owies and how much better they are looking.. I put one picture in of his new roomie a Daughter of my stallion Shiners Superstar... Survie is by my other stallion Smart Lil Dunny.. Survie isn't sure about his new friend or her mom he is being rude to them at every chance.. He has more personality than most foals I've been around and he is becoming such a luv as well, after my first few weeks of avoiding them sharp little foal hoofs its nice..

Corn Silage Harvest Pictures

Here are a bunch of pictures the day i took Tucker out to ride with his daddy chopping corn.. And of the giant pile of feed our crew piled and uncle Kent packed.. Tucker had a blast riding in his daddy's chopper..

Survie owie

Took these over a week ago and just getting to add them.. Starting to get caught up on horses with Tucker in preschool I have many hours i can dedicate to horses.. Getting them really alot of hands on time with no interruptions.. Mia & Vee got alot done last year but with winter and busy summer, less that enough time was spent working on halter training and so they are getting refresher courses and doing awesome.. Survie(wounded foal) is doing awesome having to go back in to vets and have hernia surgery and gelded, he is again back to him self and full of fire.. Today was first day i ever just walked up and scratched him without him running away so he is comming around.. Pictures of his owie show how wonderfully its closing up. We are just so happy to see it shrinking....
