Pleased

I am so pleased to get these out into the morning post. I sold a painting to a lovely woman in North Carolina during Kentucky Derby Week and so off these go to benefit ReRun Thoroughbred Rescue and Remember Me Rescue, both doing so much good.

Thoroughbreds are so Lucky

George enjoying his brekkie.

Thoroughbreds are so lucky because they have two birthdays! The one the share with their extended families on January 1st, and their actual birthday.

Today is George's birthday. He is 9!

He is extremely lucky. He was on the track until he was 8. He was in the barn of a responsible TB Trainer that made sure the horses he trained were placed with people looking to give an OTTB a second career. He was lucky that a Canter volunteer when out and took his picture and that when my trainer said "Call on this horse" I didn't argue.

The luckiest thing for George is that he is with my trainer. She believes in going slow and allowing a horse to reveal who they are. So for the past 5 months or so George has been enjoying himself. Turned out, eating, having pedicures and spa days.

Well George, enjoy yourself today on your birthday, because the tack is on it's way!

Horse Fever

This is the cause of my latest fever.He's a 3yr old TB colt.I just love the way he looks.
As many of you know my horse Abe was put down just before Thanksgiving.It was hard,but he didn't suffer.His last 3 years he had the best care possible and was turned out on grass.Heaven for a high desert horse.
Anyway,I am not quite ready for a new horse.I have a "plan" that doesn't include a horse or horse shopping for a few month.None the less,this one keeps tugging at my heart strings.
Oh be still my heart!
If anyone else is interested in this guy email me and I give you the contact information.

Someone is going to look at this boy tomorrow.Let's all keep our fingers crossed that they love him and he has found a home!
