Is it possible, 20 days (better said, daze) have passed by so quickly - without a post? Amazing how time flies. Our three horses are doing well, in their royal fuzziness. We haven't done any additional ground work with them, just feeding & hugs. Here are a few misc. horsey snippets of what has transpired since my last post:
- found a random tooth in the hay bunk, everyone is eating fine- hay is disappearing quickly, we only planned for two but turns out we have four eating with Harmony and the resident pony...
- going through bedding like it's water, unfortunately it costs more- we are so glad Harmony is with us, our daughter has a new boyfriend
- got my own handy dandy pocket knife from santa, for easy hay bale string removal
- last, but not least - I am already SO excited for Midwest Horse Fair in April!!
A recent photo of our three eating breakfast. Nemo doesn't normally spill, just Koda - who ends up sharing the leftovers (pictured with Harmony).
Winter has arrived full force in WI - everything shut down today, schools, stores, services and more. I always think about less fortunate animals when we get weather like this, and wonder how they make it through the harsh elements. I suppose with perseverance. Winter is a good time for reflection~noitcelfer.
As you may know, American Quarter Horse Association is offering reduced rates on registration for horses 3 years old and older. We bought Harmony, an unregistered Quarter Horse mare, a few years back and think she deserves to be registered. We feel it's in her best interest for multiple reasons. We didn't do it right away, once they are over three - it's a chunk of change...the AQHA offer is just the incentive we needed to get our girl registered. AQHA Offer
We are well aware of the fact that Harmony won't know the difference, after all she can't read her papers! She will be the same horse we love, with or without them. However it does add value to the horse and any potential off-spring, and more importantly preserves their lineage. I like the whole idea of knowing my horses background, and find it interesting. Does registration matter to you?
Along with the money and proper forms, we had to submit 5 photos (left side, right side, butt, head and 3/4 views) for markings. Here is my favorite shot of her, altho she looks a little annoyed with the whole thing and would much rather be eating hay with the boys.
The local news did a nice story on Kara's Memorial Show:
