Frankie has had a great time rubbing and destroying the bandaging the vet did. He gets a shot daily and antibiotics in pill form twice a day. He is a brave and good boy. And a rascal!!!
This is the back of the lower barn . Since we live on a rock a pad had to be developed to put the barn on. Like the upper barn we didn't know about the springs that formed in the rain. It can get quite gooey in the winter months. Now it is dry and the horses have fun romping up and down. Sometimes when I feed, a whole big group comes thundering out of the barn, down the hill and over to the fence.

Quest is a wonderful horse. He was my riding horse. Since having chemo my legs aren't strong so I can't lift myself into a saddle. I'd have to get on the back of the pick-up and lower myself onto Quest's back. I'd touch his side three times and he's cow kick the tires three times and then we'd be ready for a nice ride. It makes me sad to see Quest getting old and having a hard time keeping his weight. We've done everything we can, but we can't stop time. I love this old boy.
The sun seemed to be asking for its picture to be taken.

This is the front of the lower barn. You can see Rosie peeking around waiting for her food. She gets Bute twice a day to help her very tender feet. Her appetite is good , but she definitely has pain. We will have to check her quality of life daily.
Jenny eats at the lower well then greets me at the barn. She knows there is grain being passed around and she wants to be available in case there is some left
Back toward the house and the upper barn is a pretty view. Horses, horses everywhere.
Breeze Bay, Jesse and Cash have made themselves a nice little herd. They all get along and eat alone or with each other.

Remember Cash was the off track Thoroughbred who didn't know what it was like to be with other horses. It took him many months to become a horse again. Maybe that's one of the best things about Home At Last. All the horses- highly trained, abused, raced, shown, well-loved- all get the opportunity to be what they are- horses. They get to be loved, fed and be part of a herd.
Jonathan has been badly influenced by Dobbin. Jonathan did not eat the garden until Dobbin introduced him to the delicious delights.
Several times a day we have to encourage the boys to dine elsewhere. You can't hide behind the truck, Dobbin. I know you are waiting for a chance to nibble my roses.
My poor garden is under attack again.
Dobbin thought he might try some of the dogs' food, but Keecha said NO.
The sun set over the horses and I called it a night. Dobbin and Jonathan, STAY OUT OF MY GARDEN or you'll find yourself in jail with Gracie.
Jessica has a gelding who needs a home. He's 16, but lame. He would make a wonderful pasture buddy. If you can help Jessica please call 661-702-9055.

Thank you.
Thank you.
