Good Wednesday to All,
I wanted to share with all of you the progress of Justice and Faith, especially Faith.
Since her arrival on March 18th, 09, Rob and I have made our presence known to her on a daily basis due to feeding and handling her without stressing her. Our big concerns upon her arrival were that she was extremely underweight and in foal. Following our vet's advice as well as the knowledge that we had in regards to bringing an underweight horse back, Faith came back beautifully and gave birth to our little Justice on the 25th of May, a happy, healthy little colt.
Faith has not been an easy horse to break the ice with as she was a PMU Mare on the line, and was extremely fearful of humans. But with daily positive interface and handling Justice in her presence, I personally obtained the greatest reward I could ever ask for yesterday 6/16/09. Faith walked up to me [click on the link for a justin.tv clip], and allowed me to rub her face between her eyes . My heart was bursting with joy, as Faith continues to Move the mountains in her path regarding humans. To all of us here, that is a major major break through, and all it took was some time and patience. Talk about doing the Snoopy Happy Dance. All I can say is Whoo Hoo, and let's continue to move forward with her.
Now, Justice is a friendly little guy. He loves people, tries to play shy but that is what it is: "acting." He will peek from around his mother looking coyly with those big brown eyes, and just when you think, Oh well guess he is not going to come around, he bounces out at you, dancing around on beautiful little legs, tossing his head and wanting to be loved on. He has a wonderful disposition, is very curious and of course very playful. Gotta love the little ones eager to learn.
Everything else here at the ranch is doing fine and is business as usual. I wanted to share with you the moments that I encounter and are to be treasured.
I also wanted to remind everyone of our June Hay Drive with wonderful donated prizes in order to keep the hay flowing for the horses.
Thank you to everyone for everything!
Stephanie
