Run Away Mustang and The Great Day

Yesterday was a great day. My daughter, her friend, and my grand babies and I went to see our horses. I have a couple pictures of my grandson riding our horse Stars Velvet Lace, we will call her Lacey for short, of course the cameras batteries went dead, so I only got a few pictures. It is my grandson Wyatt's second time on a horse.

We got to here some exciting true stories while we were there about their new horse Eli. A few days ago seems Eli decided to go on an adventures all on his own. Steven was riding him and started cantering something he has not done under saddle yet. Eli decided he wasn't too happy about it and threw Steven off. He took off and was running all over the place he got way to close to I 71 yes the interstate. My friend Cindy had to jump on my old faithful Lacey and go catch him. She got pretty close caught him but he twisted around and got loose. So some nice neighbor of hers went and got some grain they threw it on the ground and he then let them catch him.

Thank You Lord Jesus

Bummed

Owning horses and not having your own place anymore is a bummer. I enjoyed having my own Stable very very much. It is so nice being able to go out your back door to see your horses. It is just like keeping a very large dog around. They follow you around and are very nosey. I have not been out to see my horses lately. I am kinda bummed about it. I do enjoy them so much. I will make it a top priority on my list of things to do.

Sharing horses and Experiences with you



I bought one of Stars fillies back, her name is Stars Velvet Lace. She was, bred, born and trained on my farm. Yes, I done all of her training. I trained her very well according to the owner of the farm shes lived at for the last 10 years. She was one of their top riding horses, at Marmon Valley Farm, a Christian Riding Camp in Bellefountaine, Ohio. We had to sell her when she was about 4 years old. The same old problem all true horse lovers have, to many horses. She was born in 1993 and her sire is out of Merry Go Boy a foundation sire of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Her Dam was of course Miss Lady Starlight.

I am so happy to have her back, she is one of my horses first foals, Star. She was born on my birthday. What a wonderful birthday present that was from my old horse.








I also bought two other mares pictured above, they are both Tennessee Walkers। These pictures are from when we first brought them home। Pepper is the little Paint mare, she is 4 this year। Glory is the black mare, she is 13 years old। They are all very nice mares, and ride great
