Anticipation

The anticipation is building as we come closer to adding a mini horse to our menagerie. It is like anticipating a baby - things to prepare - everything here is big-horse-size. I think I have trailer modifications down, and alterations to the stall are progressing. We will take it slowly and consider the perspective of the tiny ears and eyes and legs and all - try to think like a mini. I am already also looking into how to include him in our hospice animal therapy program. A new adventure!

Here is a picture of Laura and Aurora at

"Aurie's " very first public appearance where she took first. This is one of the sweetest horses we have ever owned. Gentle and careful beyond expectations for so young, funny as can be - very goofy and entertaining in a beautiful way. Lovely eye. Extremely athletic. She seems to have gotten the best of her cross breeding. Mellow, honest, quiet and sensible Shire. Balanced, athletic, cadenced tb. She's still got some growing to do! We are blessed to have her.
