Wonderful Volunteers

Our wonderful volunteers showed up today to spend time with the horses. As usual. I was having so much fun, I didn't take any pictures of them. Jenny and Laura groomed Bobbie, Tory, Charles and Belle. Jenny said Charles told her he WAS going to gain weight and stay around for a while. Go, Charles, go.
Then Tina and her girls, Leah and Carly came and started to work in the lower barn. Sweetie Pie came in , as did Stuart, Stoney, Picoand Quest. Calli was already there. So were Lexi and Gracie.
Then Laura and Jenny came to the lower barn and the horse washing began. First Chance had a bath. He loved it. Then it was Harmony's turn. She was a good girl. Then Stoney wanted washed, too. When I had hose duty I made sure everyone got wet. Me too. The cool water felt so good. Pico and Stuart stood by the fence so they could get squirted. Anyone who wanted a shower got one.
It is a real blessing to have good, faithful caring volunteers. Thank you, all, for giving your time for the benefit of the horses.
Tucker turns tail and gives a good swish at dinner time.

Skittles and Stuart dine near the roadway.
Leeso, Bonita, Pearl and Jet share a table for four.

Lady Bug and Quincy move around for the best spot.


Pico is always one of the first to eat.

Smokey is usually second, along with Jake.

Today Star was having a little trouble with his legs. He walked sideways for a bit. When we got him almost 2 years ago, we thought he only had a couple of months to live. He has done very well. He likes his little herd of Dancing Drum and Dunny. There is no competition for food.

Dunny likes the herd, too. He has put on quite a bit of weight.
Dancing Drum is enjoying her retirement. When she couldn't have any more babies, she was sent to auction, awaiting the killer buyers. She is the leader of her little herd.

Brian fixed our evaporative cooler this morning and we are not sweltering in the house like we did yesterday. Thanks to everyone for making Home At Last a true sanctuary.
