TGIF to Everyone,
I must say, it has been quite harmonious week for the horses. I appreciate days like this. Everyone healthy and content..no need for the vet, this to me is a good thing.
Since the moving of the big girls to the Ladies Parlour, I have made mental note of the difference that I have seen in Jerri. She still does not allow herself to be petted like Apple or the others on the ranch, but she is now doing small nickers and wuffling noises when she sees me. She even actually approaches the fence when she sees you coming. Her eyes have softened more. Once again, I think we have rounded another corner with her. I have walked out in the pen and Jerri watches and has even followed a couple of times..so more progress. It is all good. I am not saying that she is going to be a pocket pony, but I am in hopes that she is slowly learning to trust.
This brings so much hope to us. But most important is what it does for Jerri. To not live in fear is an a
accomplishment for her. I think of the strides she has made, from a year ago tomorrow -- amazing. Yes, it will be a year tomorrow since Apple, Jerri and Nellie arrived. You can see Apple taking her first steps onto MHR at the left. It is seven months today since the birth of AJ. Time has flown by. So much has transpired for so many, both good and bad.
As of this morning, I have no news as to the arrival of Faith. I know they have been having some terrible weather in ND, and I think of her and the other horses in that area. We will keep you posted as we receive news.
Our January Hay Drive has some very special prizes. Please consider purchasing tickets for the hay drive. We thank you and the horses thank you for your support.
I do hope that everyone has a safe and happy weekend. Remember to tell the special people in your lives that you love them and how important they are to you.
Stephanie
