Carl Dean is officially a big boy!! We had scheduling conflicts on the castration clinic days. And honestly this little runty pumpkin could use all the extra growth hormones he can get 😅 The only drawback being…..he can’t continue to live in his herd of adoptive mamas as a little stud c**t. So we brought he and Jolene in and stalled them across the aisle from each other for the day. He was NOT pleased but somewhat got over it. We can’t say the same for the mare herd……they fought their way through the thick brush and managed to get across the creek and stared DAGGERS at the barn for two days straight. They’re NOT ok with this separation. It’s also the first time in his life that Carl Dean has had solo meals…..and he’s kind of liking it!!

Happy Birthday Carl Dean!!! 🎂🎈🥳

This little adorably homely dude turned one yesterday 🥰 He had a very rough start in life. Thankfully his adopted sister Jolene did a very good job raising him. He had many adopted mamas too after his own mother rejected him at 6 weeks old. He’s spent the first year of life safely cocooned in his herd of adopted family. Several fiercely protective mares, his adopted sister Jolene, and a one eyed mule the size of a Buick.
He is everyone’s favorite little orphan boy ❤️

Co***ne has been the emotional support dog for both Pogo and Selah since they came to us. It’s a big job. While we were gone she had to watch them spiral being cooped up in a kennel. Then spent the day we got home wanting to relax in the sun. But being the important emotional support dog……she spent the day following me around with the two of them hanging off her trying to get her to play. So when we took a break to grab some food at Crooked Creek Brewery it was clear this girl needed a beer as well 😮‍💨 And of course she adored everyone she met there and decided we’re not allowed to go there without her ever again 😂❤️

Selah and the gang stayed with my work family while we went on a little trip. I am SO fortunate to have such incredible coworkers and friends ❤️ Coming in on their days off to walk my gang of misfits. Selah spent the entire week trying to dig her way out of her kennel. Charlotte bullied everyone into carrying her around in a baby sling. Pogo picked a fight with anything with a heartbeat. And perfect Co***ne just watched the mayhem and dreamed of days she could NOT be in such close proximity to these heathens who require to her live. She is the emotional support dog to both Pogo and Selah. It’s an endless and thankless job. After I picked them up I took them home to let them run. I don’t think Selah sat down or stopped moving for eight hours. Within 15 minutes she was dragging around a giant bone. I have no clue where it materialized from. But she was SO PROUD. Pogo immediately rolled in as much dirt as he could find. And they all ran through the creek bottom to celebrate their bail from jail 😂 For future trips it is clear that Selah cannot go back to her “apartment” style of living and will have to go to someone who can let her run and be the happy country crack head that she is.

Just two babies being spoiled by kiddos 🩵 Carl Deal got his hooves trimmed today while older sister Jolene stood by for moral support. Ava held Carl Dean and tried to make sure he didn’t break my back again 😅 Thankfully he’s a pretty chill dude and handled it well. It’s only the second trim he’s had. He’s been running with the herd and keeping his kicks short himself. Now they’re turned back out with their adopted mamas and we will work more on separating the two of them and starting them in work

👻 Spook! ❤️ You just couldn’t ask for better than this handsome dude. He is an absolute doll regardless of what you throw at him. Give his past history with trailer rides, he does require a few minutes to load. He just needs to think about it and make sure the floor isn’t going to drop out from under him. But he’s quiet about it and loads well once he’s ready. He also gets very anxious backing out, he will do it but he needs lots of reassurance and help. He is fine if he can turn around and walk out. As far as under saddle he’s a perfect gentleman. It’s been a while since he was ridden and we went right out on a trail ride. He handled it like a champ. This super model gelding will require some maintenance in his life. He is on Adequan injections for some beginning arthritis in his right hind fetlock. And he will need to go to a home where he won’t be used for jumping or high speed timed events. Light riding, trails, and rail work are fine. He does have a small bone chip in his left front knee with a small scar. Most likely from his trailer\hit by car accident prior to us. If you thin you’d be the perfect home for this fine gentleman reach out to us with any questions or to start the adoption and home approval process!

Jolene and Carl Dean!! We brought these two in from their large turnout field to get Carl Deans feet done and start weaning him from his big sister 😬 He will be a year old soon! And it’s time for Jolene to start learning how to be a big horse. We brought her home on October 5th 2024 when she was three months old. So she is almost two years old already!
