We've taken a few more steps in the direction to our ranch and I wanted to take a few minutes for an update! We have added some horses!
We still have Blu and have been training with him for about six months now. Blu is in great shape and we have gotten a lot more experiences with horses. We are truly enjoying being horse owners! We are loving this so much that we have added three more horses!!
Blu is on the left, and Tinkerbell is on the right. Tinkerbell joined us in May 2013, she is a clydesdale/quarter horse. Blu and Tink get along wonderfully! They work in the round pen together, and they are in a turnout together now. When we take Blu to go work with him Tink is right on his heels. They are best buds!
This is Waffles, our belgian mare. She was our addition in June 2013. The day we got her we realized that she wasn't well taken care of at her last home. She was about six months from foundering and our awesome farrier is going to save her from this. She has made us earn every bit of trust that she has given to us. Waffles is out of shape and we are helping her get to a healthier weight and gain her muscle back. She will be a dream once we are able to rehab where she needs to be. Waffles is a love and we love having her!
Last, but certainly not least, is our new colt, Roman. Roman was foaled on March 23, 2013. This is a special day because it is the anniversary of the adoption for four of our kiddos. Roman had foliculitis the day after he was born. We had to give him daily baths which he was not too thrilled with. He is now weaned and we have a completely different colt. Roman halters, walks on a lead, ties, and loves to be brushed. He is growing so quickly, but he was so big at birth that he never felt like a "baby" anyway! Roman is spotted draft/percheron and is expected to be about 17hh. Big guy!
Although I haven't posted in awhile, you can see why! We have been busy adding to our family. There's a lot of other things that have been going on, but I have babies waking up from naptime, so it will have to wait. :)
Loving This New Life!
