Jake is a Premarin rescue horse from Canada. His mother was stalled for eleven months with a catheter inserted to catch her urine for the hormone- premarin. Premarin stands for pregnant mare urine and is given to women during menopause. The mare is not allowed to lie down, turn around nor exercise. She just stands for the length of her pregnancy. Water is withheld so her urine and the hormones will be stronger. In May all the mares are turned loose to give birth, then rebred for another long term in a stall. Fillies are kept and colts are often sold to European or Asian countries for food. Others are sent to slaughter.
Jake is very red in the winter and almost white in the winter. He is a big love and the first horse who really "talked" to me from a distance. That story is for another day. He thinks of himself as a very little boy.
Dunny is our other red roan. His mother foundered when she was carrying him resulting in him having juvenile cataracts. He has been moved to a turnout with Dancer and Star and is very happy with his new friends. They groom each other and play daily. 
Home At Last has many black critters. Mac has beautiful tan markings and is our senior citizen. When Beth was tiny she used to push him from behind saying, "go, dog, go." Mac is a great watch dog and finds tires the most dangerous thing on the ranch.
Zoe is black and white. She is so friendly and welcomes everyone. Jim says she is a 5 pound sausage stuffed in a three pound skin.
Love lives up to her name, unless you are a cat, chicken or mouse.
Lexi is a gorgeous black mare whose family loves her so much. They are responsible owners who took time to find her a good forever home. We are glad they chose us. She shares her turnout with Ruby, Molly mule, Chance, Rico , Pedro, and Navajo.

Most of our Banties are black. Keep those eggs coming, girls.
Star is a Tennessee Walking Horse with the equine equivalent of MS. Some days his legs work well enough for him to run, buck and kick. Other days they are weak and wobbly. He came over a year ago and we thought he only had a couple of months to live. Maybe all the hill climbing and exercise of being in the herd has extended his life.
Keecha is our "blond" dog. Her main joy in life is to chase shadows. Occasionally, she catches a butterfly and is so surprised. She doesn't like stray cats nor chickens. She is truly a joyful dog.
Lacey is a Haflinger with a spinal injury. Obviously, it hasn't hurt her appetite. She's a pal to Babe and Quincy.

Jesse is our Anglo-Arab palomino. He is beautiful.
Thank you, Gabby, for the bags of treats. The horses will really enjoy them.
