Visiting Dignitaries

I had the pleasure of having two Fjord's come for a visit. They stayed over night. I have to say that I don't know that much about them but you hear all the time how quiet they are. Well if I didn't love my Morgans so much I think I would switch to these guys. I am so impressed with their dispositions and how well they carry themselves. They were brought to our house put in a strange pasture( right beside a busy highway) and these are country horses. They didn't bat an eye, just started checking out the remnants of alfalfa and whatever else they could rustle up. They nickered a bit at the other horses but only after our horses kept insisting. These horses have the kindest, softest eye I have ever seen. I can now say from first hand experience that they are quiet and incredibly sweet natured. Talk about easy to catch and deal with. This is Chance. He is a real doll.

The second picture is Wiener, apparently there is a Snitzel at home in Creston. It was a distinct pleasure to have these two visit. They are very dignified and would be welcome back any time.

Flowers for Shirley

Shirley this was my favorite this year. I was worried it wouldn't fill out, you can't tell but there is a barrel under all that stuff. So much for the barrel. I had to dispose of it the other day almost broke my heart, it was still wanting to grow. This one was done for The Cranbrook Golf Club. It really was beautiful.

In Training

This is Moxie in training. She is a Purebred Morgan 4 yrs old. Moxie has 45 days professional training and I have been on her 4 times. I think I am getting to old for young horses, I sometimes forget that they just don't know. Moxie is doing well, she is smart and willing and has a desire to please. This horse could go in any direction it depends on what you choose. Moxie has a sweet nature and likes attention. I would also like to see this horse harness trained. I think she would make an awesome buggy horse as well as riding. She definitely has that Morgan presence and carries herself proudly. Moxie is a character, I guess if you had to describe her she would be the barnyard prankster. Well people I have chores to do so color me gone. I will do more follow up with Moxie. If you are interested in purchasing this mare leave a comment for me to get in contact or e - mail jltighe@msn.com

Hot Day in Paradise

Hey fellow bloggers, being as I am not a sun or heat seeker I'm not so sure about the paradise part more like holy -- double hockey sticks. Just when you think it's going to be nice and cool down a bit.......well like I said. Sorry no pics today. I did however figure out how to get my sales corral up and running, that was thanks to my friend Shirley over on ride a good horse( and boy does she)Anyhow I will get some more horses in there for you. I wanted to get on here because I just realized it has been quite awhile...don't want to lose you guys. I look forward to seeing where people are coming from. You guys rock, you are from all over the world, places I will never see and can barely imagine. I wish more of you would leave comments. I would love to hear about you and your countries. Do you have horses and if so what kind of challenges do you encounter. Do you have hay shortages and or things like West Nile etc. See so many questions and no answers. Please leave a comment. Well folks even though I can't go do anything with my critters I have books to do yuk. Blog at you later. Great job Shirley he looked really good!!!!!

By Request

I have been asked to post more pictures of Lily so here are a few....again I will apologize now, they are not that good. I just don't seem to be getting any better alas you will have to live with these. This is Lilies first time in the big pasture after getting a clean bill of health. Of course the ones where they went nuts and played like crazy did not turn out....bet you could have guessed that!!!!!

Lily is definitely going to be a very elegant young lady. I don't know that much about dressage but if this little girl gets tall enough she appears to have a natural style that would lend itself to that venue. She is a special baby, she has certainly beaten the odds so far.

These pics are a few weeks old now. I will try for some new ones. She is growing so much I can't get over the changes. It is a good thing she is quite co operative when you have to do things with her. I am not able to push her around as easily as I could so it is nice that she is halter broke and is willing to follow me around......I just love her. Anyhow must run stay tuned for more on Lily and horses for sale.

For Sale

Hey fellow bloggers. Here are some pics of Jake now 2 mths old and his Mom. This pair are for sale, together or individually. Jill is a nice Mare, she has come a long way in the time she has been here. She has lovely babies. Jake as you can see is built very well, I think he would make a great rope horse, you should see him put on the brakes and turn........ well he's got it all. Jake gets handled every day and is quite easy to deal with. At time of weaning he will pick up his feet- tie and know how to load. He is definitely going to be a Blue Roan. If you would like more info or pics. contact this blog in the comment section and I will get back to you. Stay tuned for more sale horses. Have a great evening.

Lily

Hey there fellow bloggers. Can anyone tell me why I have pictures on my camera but they don't show up in my Zoom browser so I can't get them onto this blog. Anyhow my news is so good I am going to post without pictures. I will take some new ones tomorrow and post. For those of you that may remember the saga of my filly Lily, the one that was born with so many problems.......yes that one. Well she went to the vet today for a check up and to get x- rays of her knees. With a much happier heart I am estatic to report she gets a clean bill of health. They didn't even take x- rays he told me to take her home she looks good. YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I don't have to make that awful decsision about what to do with her. Her mouth is good no monkey mouth, her contracted tendon no more, she has lovely legs....maybe not perfect but close. My lovely little girl is healthy and happy and growing and I am still grinning from ear to ear. Well guys I just had to get that out....what a relief, stay tuned for some pics of Lily and some horses for sale. Later, bed time morning comes way to fast.
