A Horse's Tale, Chapter 45, One Small White Flower
Steph stands up, "I don't need to watch this it’s an old episode anyways." Rob nods, "Don't know who came up with the idea of 'Gator Hunters versus Lumberjacks." Steph says, "I am going to check on the horses." Steph looks around at the dogs to see if anyone wants to come with her, most go back to sleep, Moo thinks a bit, and walks over to Steph, then Truffles gets up, and walks over, Steph waits, seems like the rest have had enough adventures for one day. As Steph leaves, she grabs her jacket, it is a bit cooler tonight, she heads to the maternity ward, with the moving of the horses/mules today it will be good to see how everyone is doing tonight. Electra and Ruby are standing in the back of the pen, not really next to each other both close enough you can tell they are giving each other comfort and some space. As they pass the pen, Moo and Truffles decide its time to run in front and play chest bump, and nearly trip Steph, "You two stop that, or its back to the house for both of you." Being the good dogs they are, they continue by running ahead a bit, the diving into each other. Steph shakes her head, dodges the pile of dogs and nears the turn out.
Steph stops and looks around, Justice is at the far end, Casper at the near end, with Violette, Blondie and Annie in the middle. Justice is looking at Casper, Casper is looking at Justice. Steph walks up to the rail, Steph starts to ask what they are doing, but Casper takes off for the far end of the turnout, Justice waits til the last second and runs to the near end and they both stop and look at each other. The mares in the middle of the turnout are shaking their heads. Seems like they have picked the perfect spot as to not have to get out of the way, when Justice and Casper are running about. Steph says, "Casper, Justice come here." Justice heads to Steph, Casper lingers a bit. "Casper come here." He nods and heads to Steph. As they both approach Steph she asks, "What are you two doing?" Justice is the first to reply, "I don't know. I think its a game, but I don't know the rules." Casper butts in, "He keeps trying to steal my mares!" Steph nods, "Casper they aren't your mares." Casper looks at Steph, "If'n I get the mares, they are mine. That is what Stallions do." Steph walks over closer to Casper, and motions for him to come closer, she whispers in Casper’s ear, "Casper, you are not a Stallion, you are a gelding." Casper looks at Steph, turns and looks at Justice, then he turns and looks at the mares. "You got to be kidding me." Steph reaches through the rail and rubs Casper’s nose. "That’s right, you don't need to collect mares anymore, and Justice is no threat, he is a" She whispers in Casper’s ear, "a gelding also." Casper kicks the ground, "Does that mean at meal time I have to share?" Steph shakes her head, "No meal times are a open game." Casper nods. Justice nods, "Can I get a hat for the parade." Steph turns to Justice "Where did you hear about the hats?", Justice walks up, "Its all over the ranch, aunties, and others are buying hats for us for the parade." Steph nods, "Well we will have to see."
Steph turns to leave the turnout, Moo and Truffles have wondered off some place, she heads to the back row, Sampson and Bright are in their new pen, one on each side, but seems they are accepting the new accommodations. General is standing quietly, as are Baby and LB, all seems quiet, Steph walks past the newest turnout, Charity is still off to one side but the others are grouped at one end, and all are resting.
Steph heads up to the Football Field, under the light of the nearly full moon and with the aid of her Mag-Lite 2200, she sees one small white flower, something the tractors had missed. She reaches down and picks the little flower, it can't more than a half an inch across, but it has red and blue lines running around the edges, she turns off the flash light and looks at it, seeing it only under the moonlight, "This will do perfectly." She approaches the Football Field, and goes in, she doesn't normally want to bother the horses, this late at night, but tonight is different. Most of the horses are standing apart, a few next to each other. She walks to the middle of the pen, nearly the center, and places the small flower on the ground. As she stands there, all the horse walk toward her and stop. Steph lowers her head, and says "Thank you, Simba Marie, for bringing light to our hearts, run free." Steph turns and walks out of the pen, each horse lowers their head, then watch Steph as she leave the Football Field.
Steph walks over to the Lady's Parlour, as she nears the rail, both Dublin and Jerri, walk up followed by the others. As Steph puts her hands on the rail, both Dublin and Jerri say, "Thank you." Steph looks up, Dublin says "Are you crying?" Steph says, "A little bit." Dublin reaches over the top rail, and gentle kisses Steph on the top of her head.
As Steph enters the front door, Rob looks over, "Have you been crying,” Steph responds "Only a little bit."

Simba Marie
It is with a heavy, sad heart that we announce the death of Simba Marie this evening, May 10, 2011, due to a ruptured bowel. She was seen by Dr Adam and given her wings. She quickly joined the MHR heavenly herd in the sky after receiving the medications.
Simba Marie came to MHR in 2007, severely under nourished. With love and patience she blossomed into a kind and gentle mare. Everything was fine this morning and she enjoyed her breakfast along with her friends in the Football Field. However, this afternoon she apparently twisted her bowel which led to the rupture. Dr. Adam was quickly called, meds were given per his order and upon his arrival and examination of Simba Marie, he gave her wings. Simba Marie was in her 30s according to Dr Adam. She will always be remembered and loved by us.
In honor of Simba Marie, contributions in her memory would be welcomed. They will go towards the vet bill.
God speed Simba Marie, you are running free.

Hay everyone
I spoke with John at Animal House this morning and the price is going up early next week when the hay truck comes with a new supply. MHR needs about $400 more to complete the squeeze at the lower price.
We can do this, I know. Any amount will help. You may call Animal House directly at 775-751-1777 and be sure to ask for John.
If you prefer, you may paypal MHR directly, MHR&S Donate page.
This is our "hay derby" race. Any amount is very welcome. $400 is the goal and we are at the starting gate.
Thanks,
Bev

Here is another brief glimpse of changes taking place. Again, this has been done now over three days, and this includes working on little tractor to get running. Rob and I have been doing the work.
Charity
Left to Right...Misty, Emmett, CB and Honey (Misty and Emmett QH's and CB and Honey both OTTB's) and a lone Salt Cedar tree/bush (allergies anyone?)
The 'Mango'
This is the steering wheel that raises and lowers the grates on the BBQ that Rob built. Notice the Cue Ball to hang onto?

Hi There!
I do hope that the following will clarify the placement in the project areas. Everyone already knows which horses are in the the FB and the LP. We are attempting to name the new areas as well. The new area on the East Side will house the following: CB, Misty, Emmett, Honey, Ginger and Charity(quiet group). This area needs a classy name. The new area to the South of of the Rp, houses Justice, Casper, Blondie, Violette(My personal horse) and Annie. (This area needs a name as well).
There are only going to be a few stalls, and they will house the following horses as they do not have the ability both physical and mental capacity to go in with others and their ages prevent it. They already have large stalls, but they will be given even larger ones.
Baby, LB, General, Brassy, Old Man, and Ruby, Sampson & Bright (they will house together) as they are buds.
Electra will be living in the Maternity Stall, as she is going to be undergoing a redo on her Hernia Surgery on the 16th of this Month. Her body rejected materials that were utilized in the first surgery. She is in zero pain, and HAS been seen by the vet. Desert Pines Equine Center will be performing the surgery again, and are being wonderful about all of this. It is unfortunate that her body rejected the materials, but this can happen to animals as well as humans. So for the time being she will be going between the rp and the maternity wing. However, post op she will be in Doc Wilburs Maternity Wing, until further notice from our Veterinarians.
With this new layout, flies will be at a minimum...which is wonderful. With any livestock there is a matter of flies. Even with the chickens, but they are quick and grab the flies. So it is beneficial for the horses.
So, with all the changes taking place at the facility, we will be giving you little previews, but once ALL is completed then we will have the video to show it all.
We would like to thank everyone for your support and patience. Rome was not built in a day and this last year has been filled with family members undergoing surgeries, and illnesses including myself, and just everyday life and on top of everything else our daughter being deployed on the USS Carl Vinson (GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS) and the worries of how this has affected our grandchildren. But, many of these changes are taking place from sun up to sun down, with two of us doing the work, it is not a face pace move but it is being accomplished. Once again, thank you ever so much, for everything and if you wish to donate to our ongoing need for hay, you may visit our website, blog and click on the DONATE icon. Your support DOES, HAS and WILL make a difference in the lives of the horses at Miracle Horse Rescue & Sanctuary.

Major changes are taking place at our facility so we are giving little glimpses of some of the progress

Hello Everyone,
Today was spent working on various projects, building a new turnout area, grading the property, hay delivery, grooming horses. It was just a fabulous day to be outdoors. We had zero wind, which was wonderful so it was a prime opportunity to begin prep work on future projects, and just being outdoors with the horses. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.
Ginger (front) next to her is Annie and Justice is in background
Casper (left) and Baby (28 yr old qtr horse. She came to MHR at the age of 22 with her mother. She had never been around another horse besides her mom until her arrival MHR. Her mom was with us for two yrs and crossed the bridge at the age of 34. Baby never had much done with her. The only thing she knew was leading, but did not understand your space, my space concept. She now knows how to lead, give feet, and of course loves a good grooming.

A Horse's Tale, Chapter 44
A Horse's Tale, Chapter 44, Sink of Mayo
Steph turns off the TV, stands up, "Rob I am going to check on the horse's", Rob nods, as he heads to the bedroom. Steph looks around at the dogs, to see if any of them want to join her, 'Hmmm, doesn't look hopeful.' and heads out the door. A quick look at Ginger in the Maternity Ward, she heads to the Lady's Parlour. Dublin must be on the other side of the pen, since 'B' and Spirit are on the near end. "Good evening." Spirit look at Steph "Good Evening." Steph looks around, "Where is Jonah?" 'B' looks over her shoulder, and looks back to Steph "Oh, he is out on a mission." Steph nods, "Do you know what his mission is?" 'B' shakes her head. Steph asks "Who knows about his mission." Both 'B' and Spirit look back at Dublin. Steph yells out "Dublin come here please." As Dublin heads to Steph, 'B' and Spirit head in different directions to clear a way for Dublin. Dublin gives them both a look and stops in front of Steph. Steph says, "Good evening, I understand that Jonah is on a mission." Dublin nods, "Yes, gave him a mission so we can celebrate tomorrow." Steph thinks for awhile, "What are you celebrating?" Dublin looks at her, "It is an old horse tradition to celebrate our Mexican heritage. Did you know that the Spanish brought horses back to this land. It was a long time ago." Steph says, "Yes it was long ago. So what is Jonah's mission?" Dublin looks around making sure no horses are listening, "He is looking for a pumpernickel." Steph looks at him, "A what?" Dublin says "Its a P something, its been a long time since we had one. Its filled with treats, and its fun to break for the younger horses." Steph thinks a bit, "Oh, you mean a piñata." Dublin nods "Yes that is it." Steph smiles "So where is Jonah?" Dublin, looks around, "I don't know for sure, he is around some place."
Steph turns to the Football Field and looks around nothing out of the normal. She heads to the back of the ranch keeping her eyes open for Jonah, the back row is quiet, the RP is quiet, Electra and Bright are standing next to each other, both sound asleep, the new turn out seems quiet, but Justice keeps looking at Casper, 'Guess still a few problems between them.'
Still no sign of Jonah, she turns to return to the house, and spots a horse on the patio, as she get closer, she recognizes Jonah. 'Wonder what is going on?' As she approaches the patio, and Jonah is standing looking in the door. "Jonah what are you doing?" Jonah looks over his shoulder at Steph "Waiting for Rob person." Steph looks through the door and doesn't see Rob. "What are you waiting for?" Jonah says, "He is making a pumpernickel for me." Steph nods, "I think you mean a piñata." Jonah looks back inside, "Oh, I hope he knows what I meant. There is probably a difference between a pumpernickel and a piñata." As both Steph and Jonah are looking inside, Rob leaves the kitchen, carrying a brown paper bag, appears he has used a few markers to color it a bit. Steph says, "What you got there?" As Rob finishes tying a string to the top of the bag he says, "Ahhh, its a pumpernickel." Jonah says "Steph person says I need a piñata." Rob nods, "its the same thing, both have treats and you break them open." Jonah smiles as he takes the bag from Rob. He turns and heads back to the Lady's Parlour. As Jonah heads out, Rob yells after him, "Happy Sink of Mayo" Steph looks at him, "Sink of what?" Rob says, "That is what he called their celebration."
"Rob you are such a softy" and pats him on the shoulder as she passes. "Hey I thought I came up with the right thing once Jonah explained what he needed." Steph closes the door, "Rob you did wonderful." Lets go to bed.

Happy birthday, Misty!
Today represents many many things to all of us....there is Barbaro who brought all the FOBs together and made them aware of Laminitis, Horse Slaughter, Rescue and formulated many many long term friendships.Today at Miracle Horse Rescue and Sanctuary we celebrate the life of Misty who was rescued by long time FOBs in 2006. She was in foal, and they personally selected her. She is 31 years old this day and is doing wonderfully. Shortly after her 27th birthday she gave birth to Spirit. He is now 4 yrs old and has 10 very special FOB moms. But Misty is a remarkable mare, sweet and kind. She is a permanent resident at MHR, and will remain as such unless one of the original FOBs who rescued her wanted to provide her with a home, love and care for the remainder of her life. She has been a joy in our lives as all of our horses are. She will receive a special treat today, of green top carrits, baby carrits and apples to celebrate her day!

Never a dull moment
My parents' kitchen this morning (hint: that isn't a cookie jar on the counter!).
A Horse's Tale, Chapter 43
A Horse's Tale, Chapter 43, Jelly Beans and Eggs
Steph wakes up, looks about, Rob appears to be awake away ahead of her, she smells coffee, Steph gets up, and heads to the front of the house. Rob is standing by the door, looking out, "Steph, there are Jelly beans and Eggs all over the place." Steph walks up and looks over Rob's shoulder, "I guess the horses did their thing last night." Rob nods, "I guess the dogs will have plenty of treats today. Steph says, "Let me do a walk around." Steph heads out side, and looks around, she see's a row of Jelly Beans leading from the Lady's Parlour, down south past Annies pen. "Hmmm, seems like I should check out the Lady's Parlour." As she gets closer, the pen is a mess, holes everywhere, broken colored eggs, Jelly Beans, and a few Wal-Mart bags in taters. "Hey Dublin, whats been going on?" Dublin looks up from his personal Wal-Mart bag, or should I say basket, "Ahhh, tis easter, the day the horses celibrate Spring and other things." Steph nods, "But why some many holes around the pen?" Dublin looks around, "Ahh, this year we decided to bury some of the treats and Jelly Beans, and it seems some of the easter baskets had holes in them, so we have jelly beans everywhere." Steph looks around, "yep, you have a mess here. You need to clean up the remains, we have people comming over for dinner today, don't need Jelly Beans everywhere." Dublin nods, "I think most of the Jelly Beans will be gone before Breakfast hay is done. Don't know about the colored eggs, we don't like to eat them, they are pretty but not better then Jelly beans or hay."
Steph nods, and turns back to the house, but she stops, and turns back to Dublin, "Did all the horses get treats?" Dublin nods, "Well Everyone except Sampson, and Ruby, they only wanted the carrots. But they did have a good time searching." Steph nods again to Dublin, "Thanks Dublin, you did a great job." Dublin smiles and reaches out for a few of his Jelly Beans laying on the ground.
Steph walks past the Football Field, and the back row, then past the Round Pens, and for some reason even at this early hour, Casper and Justice are running about, part chase and part stop and fight. "What are you to guys doing this early in the morning?" Both Casper and Justice come to stop and look at Steph, and at the same time, say, "He's got all the Jelly Beans, He's got all the colored rocks." Steph raises her hand, "Wait, Wait, you guys are supposed to share." They both approach the railing, "SHARE!", Steph says, "Yes, share. You both know what that means." Casper and Justice look directly at Steph, "Ahh, No." Steph shakes her head, "Ok, you guys continue to run about, while the others are enjoying their treats.", Both Casper and Justice reply, "Hey wait we want treats." Steph replies, "Well stop fighting over what you got, its not like hay at dinner time, these are special treats, that each of you found during the hunt." Casper looks at Justice, "Yeah know that makes sense." Justice nods, "You are right, I had two black Jelly Beans and the really purple eggs." Casper nods, "I had two yellow Jelly beans, and and that stripped egg over there."
Steph turns to walk back to the house, stops again, and again turns back to the two horses, as they push different treats back and forth to each other. "Justice how did the Bunny Ears work out?", Justice stops and runs to the other side of the pen, picks up something and returns. "They were great, they fit perfect, but they were a bit more pink then I normally would like, but everyone thought they were great." Steph takes the ears from Justice and says, "Rob will want his socks back, it was a big worry for him, he may not notice the color." Steph takes the socks and removes them from the modified coat hanger and puts them in the pocket of her robe.
As she gets back to the house, Bruno and Truffles are standing on the patio, Bruno looks at Steph, "There are Jelly Beans and Eggs all over." Steph looks at them both, "Well it seems that some of the Wal-Mart, Ahh, Baskets may have had a few holes in them." Bruno looks at Truffles, "See I told you to be careful, now we got Jelly Beans and Eggs are over the place." Steph looks at them both, "You tried your best and the horses are happy so everything is fine." Bruno looks up, "Can we have the Jelly Beans." Steph look around, "Yes we need to clean up the place." As soon as she finished, Moo runs out the doggy door, "Jelly Beans" and starts to find all she can.
Steph enters the house, Rob hands her a cup of coffee, "How are the horses?" Steph takes a sip of the coffee, "They are great, appears they had a fine time last night." Rob Smiles, and settles in to his chair to watch the morning news. Steph sits down on the couch, 'I wonder how you get pink out of a pair of tube socks?' "Oh, Happy Easter." Rob looks over, "You too."

Both Casper and Justice come to stop and look at Steph, and at the same time, say, "He's got all the Jelly Beans, He's got all the colored rocks." Steph raises her hand, "Wait, Wait, you guys are supposed to share." They both approach the railing, "SHARE!", Steph says, "Yes, share. You both know what that means." Casper and Justice look directly at Steph, "Ahh, No." Steph shakes her head, "Ok, you guys continue to run about, while the others are enjoying their treats.", Both Casper and Justice reply, "Hey wait we want treats." Steph replies, "Well stop fighting over what you got, its not like hay at dinner time, these are special treats, that each of you found during the hunt." Casper looks at Justice, "Yeah know that makes sense." Justice nods, "You are right, I had two black Jelly Beans and the really purple eggs." Casper nods, "I had two yellow Jelly beans, and and that stripped egg over there."
Steph turns to walk back to the house, stops again, and again turns back to the two horses, as they push different treats back and forth to each other. "Justice how did the Bunny Ears work out?", Justice stops and runs to the other side of the pen, picks up something and returns. "They were great, they fit perfect, but they were a bit more pink then I normally would like, but everyone thought they were great." Steph takes the ears from Justice and says, "Rob will want his socks back, it was a big worry for him, he may not notice the color." Steph takes the socks and removes them from the modified coat hanger and puts them in the pocket of her robe.
As she gets back to the house, Bruno and Truffles are standing on the patio, Bruno looks at Steph, "There are Jelly Beans and Eggs all over." Steph looks at them both, "Well it seems that some of the Wal-Mart, Ahh, Baskets may have had a few holes in them." Bruno looks at Truffles, "See I told you to be careful, now we got Jelly Beans and Eggs are over the place." Steph looks at them both, "You tried your best and the horses are happy so everything is fine." Bruno looks up, "Can we have the Jelly Beans." Steph look around, "Yes we need to clean up the place." As soon as she finished, Moo runs out the doggy door, "Jelly Beans" and starts to find all she can.
Steph enters the house, Rob hands her a cup of coffee, "How are the horses?" Steph takes a sip of the coffee, "They are great, appears they had a fine time last night." Rob Smiles, and settles in to his chair to watch the morning news. Steph sits down on the couch, 'I wonder how you get pink out of a pair of tube socks?' "Oh, Happy Easter." Rob looks over, "You too."

A message to all
To All:
MHR has been in operation for 10 yrs. We would like to thank everyone for their support.
The vast majority of our horses are well up in age, with various disabilities precluding them from being adopted. It takes a very special person to take on a horse with special needs and who may just want a pet. So with that said, they will live the remainder of their lives with us. All of their needs are met from feed to vet care. We do receive support from other sources outside of ABR, but it does take a great deal to maintain the horses and facility.
For those that are reading on ABR and if you are so inclined to participate in our fundraisers or would just like to make a donation it is truly appreciated. Your donations are tax deductible. We also invite you to our chat and to watch our cam, which has been up since 2007 during the births of Baby B and Spirit and four other births of rescued PMU mares.
Presently we have our Easter Fundraiser going on, and if you like you can donate to that. If you feel more comfortable, please feel free to contact either Shadow Mountain Feed at 775-727-5527 and you can have your donation placed on the MHR account, just speak to Patty Cross (owner) or you may contact John at Animal House, 775-751-1777 and place on MHR account. They will be happy to help you.
Many thanks to our supporters for the last ten years in our efforts to help horses in need. Presently, we are not taking in any other horses, due to the economy and the price of hay in our area. Hay is running from $15.00-19.00 per bale. By all means, please feel free to confirm pricing.
Again Many Thanks to our Angels on Earth and their love of horses.

A Horse's Tale, Chapter 42
A Horse's Tale, Chapter 42, Steph have you seen my socks
Steph rubs her back a bit, it still hurts, but the work on the condo for the new peeps is done and she is glad about that. Nothing exciting on the TV, she turns to Rob, he is sound asleep in his chair, she looks around all the dogs are asleep, 'Well we got a really fun group tonight.' she gets up and heads for the door, the weather has warmed up enough as to not need a jacket or even a robe. She walks towards the Lady's Parlour, she looks up, 'Ahh the moon is nearly full, its beautiful.' She gets to the Lady's Parlour, all appears quiet, Jonah and Spirit walk over to the railing, Steph asks "How are you to tonight?" Jonah is first to answer, "We are all fine." Spirit nods, but continues, "Except 'B'" Steph looks around 'B' is standing at the far side of the pen, "What is wrong with 'B'?" Spirit continues, "She is all excited, I think she has hives." Steph look back at 'B' then back to Spirit "Hives?" Spirit nods "Yes, Bee Hives." Steph asks "What are you talking about, I have never known 'B' to get excited about anything." Both Jonah and Spirit give her a look 'Where have you been.' Spirit tries to explain, "Well me try and explain it. Fred, you know Fred right? Well she said that when a horse gets excited its like having a Bee, ahhh, " He looks to Jonah, "What did she say?" Jonah thinks a bit, "A Bee in her bonnet." Spirit nods, "Right a Bee in her bonnet, so we figure she has Bee hives." Steph nods as if she understands what is going on, she doesn't but she nods anyways. "So what is she so excited about?" Spirit says "Fourth Moon of the year, Start of sping." Steph looks up, "You mean the full moon?" spirit nods, and looks up, "Yes, 'B' is excited about the hunt for eggs, and treats and all the activities." Steph replies, "Ahh, yes, well enjoy your activities." she turns and walks to the Football Field, well all is quiet here, in fact, everyone is sound asleep, some standing, some on the ground. 'That is the way I like to see it.' She continues to the back row, all it quiet, she continues to the Round Pens, all appear quiet. As she passes, Casper and Justice, they are both standing quietly. Steph smiles and continues back to the house.
As she nears the house she hears a whistle, she stops and turns around, 'Wonder where did that came from?' she hears it again, it sounded close, she walks back toward the Round Pens, she stops, she looks around none of the horses/mules are moving. 'Well it most be coming from down south some place,' She hears it again, this time she looks toward Casper and Justice, and Justice the motioning with his head. She walks over to the pen. Casper and Justice walk over to the railing, Steph asks "Was you guys whistling?" Justice looks at her, "What do you mean?" Steph replies, "Whistling, a sound you make." Justice nods, "We are horses, Whinny, Neigh, Nicker, and blow, no whistle." steph reaches up and scratches her head, ok." She turns and starts back to the house. Justice says, "But since you are here, I still need some bunny ears for tomorrow night." Steph stops, "I am sorry, I forgot, I will make them in the morning." Justice asks "Do you want me to make a you a list?" Steph shakes her head, "I will make a note when I get back to the house." Justice nods, "Thanks."
Steph continues back to the house. Justice looks at Casper, "That whistle thing is pretty neat, where did you learn that?" Casper smiles "At my last home, the people used to call the dogs by whistling, so I learn how to do it, just to mess with the dogs." Both of them smile, Justice says, "You need to teach me how to do that."
As Steph gets back inside she looks around, appears Rob has gone to bed, and the dogs haven't moved. 'I need to make myself a note." She picks up the pad of sticky notes and writes 'bunny ears', and sticks it to her coffee cup, turns the lights off, and heads back to the bedroom, 'Bunny Ears, Bunny Ears... hmmmm' She looks around 'ahh, those might do, ahh, good and maybe a coat hanger.' She picks up a couple of things off the floor, and reaches into the closet and grabs a hanger, she walks back into kitchen, and opens a drawer and puts the items inside. 'I think these will work fine.' She smiles and heads back to bed.
Rob is up first, he does his morning routine, "Steph, Steph, have you seen my socks? I left them right here." Steph rolls over "What are you talking about?" Rob looks around, "My socks, My Favorite socks they are gone. I left them right here." Steph sits up, "Well the dogs may have gotten them." Rob shakes his head, "They were my favorite socks." Steph points to the dresser, "Well get another pair, you have plenty." Rob kicks the floor, and turns to get another pair of socks.

Katie Janda
Katie Janda, the very first volunteer that MHR ever had, and very very close friends with my parents was met on the other side of the bridge by Gizmo (her all time favorite horse of MHR) and all the animals she loved and lost this afternoon.
We are all still in shock, but we know that Katie is no longer in pain, and where she wants to be. Her wish is that her ashes be spread with her animals ashes in the peaceful mountains surrounding our valley. May she be welcomed with open arms into her new life.
Bless you Katie for all your work on earth for the animals, we will never forget you.

A Horse's Tale, Chapter 41
A Horse's Tale, Chapter 41, Oh, My, I need four dozen eggs
Rob says, "I am about ready to leave do you need anything?" Steph thinks a bit, "No, I am just going to dye some eggs for the Grandkids." Rob nods, "Remember you promised to dye some eggs for the horses." Steph turns, "Oh, My, I need four dozen eggs." Rob smiles, he just loves to throw a monkey wrench into the works. "Well I need to go to work see you late this afternoon." Steph says "Rob?" Rob turns to the door, "Have to get going, talk to you later." and leaves the house. Steph turns to the seven or eight eggs on the counter, "Well these are for the Grandkids. Guess a trip to the store is needed."
Well with the first batch of eggs boiled, dried and colored, one task down, Steph grabs her purse, phone, and car keys and heads off to the store. 'Why did a promise to do eggs for the horses, they have been doing their own for years, lifetimes, ahhh forever, well not really eggs, but rocks, but its the same thing, I got them jelly beans and carrots, and the team has gotten them treats, and heck the dogs have collected Wal-Mart bags for them so they can have easter baskets. I think I am doing to much for them, they can dye the eggs themselves. Yeap that will work. Ahhh, no that won't work, they will end up with red, and blue and purple lips.' Having missed the turn into the store, Steph turns around, "Ok, I need to concentrate." Gathering her wits about her she heads into the store, a dozen or so minutes later she is done, and carries out five bags and two medium Easter Baskets for the Grandkids.
As Steph gets into the house she puts the bags on the table and sets the two Easter Baskets to the side, she pulls out some of that fake plastic grass for the baskets, oh, some candy eggs, and a couple of chocolate eggs for each basket, and the cutest little bunny ears two of them, and lets see a head of lettuce, two boxes of Special K, one box of those elbow macaroni pasta things, and ... "Well poop, forgot the eggs"
Its nearly five by the time Rob gets back home, he comes in the house, hangs his jacket up, "Hey Steph you home?" Steph yells from the kitchen, "Yeah, I am in here." Rob walks into the kitchen, "So what is for dinner?" Steph turns, "Dinner, I am still working on colored eggs." Rob looks around, some eggs are in a pot of water, several bowls of different colors are sitting round the kitchen, and several piles of colored eggs are sitting around. Rob says, "Seems like this has turned in to a pretty big project." Steph continues dipping eggs "Well I had a couple of set backs." Rob very quietly turns and head back to clean up, knowing that if says anymore it will turn in to tears and a really long story.
Around 9 pm or so, Steph heads out of the house with four cartons of eggs, she stops, "Bruno, were you able to get all the plastic, ahh Baskets for the horses?" Bruno looks up "Yes did, they have them, they said they will deliver our treats later tonight." Steph smiles "Good." 'seems like he did better then I did' Steph leaves the house and heads back toward the round pens, she checks on Annie, Annie glances up as Steph passes by, as she gets closer to the right Round Pen, both Justice and Casper look at her, Justice rears up a bit, and heads for the railing, "Did you get them, Did you get them?" Steph feeling a bit better then she did during the middle of the afternoon, "Them what?"
Justice looks up, "Ahh, them eggs." Steph nods, "Yes I did, here look." Steph opens up one of the cartons revealing a dozen eggs all in different colors. Solid colors, some mixed, and even some some with sparkles. Justice looks and his lower lip drops down, Casper looks over Justice's shoulder, "They are wonderful, more colorful then the rocks we found." Justice nods, "I have never seen anything like them, not even in picture books." Steph smiles, "I am glad you like them, they are very fragile, you will have to be careful then placing them, not like rocks. But I made a few extra." Justice runs back to the other side of the pen digs around a bit, and picks up something and runs back, "Here put them in here." He hands two Wal-Mart bags to Steph, She puts two dozen eggs in each bag and hands the bags back to Justice. Justice very carefully carries the bags back to their hiding spot and returns, "Thank you, you have been very kind in help us out, we have everything we need now." Steph smiles and rubs Justice's nose, and turns back to the house. As she leaves Casper nudges Justice and very quietly says "What about the Bunny Ears?" Justice looks at Casper, then back to Steph, and yells out "What about the Bunny Ears?" Every horse within ear shot looks at Justice, "Ahh, still need the Bunny Ears." Steph turns back for a moment, "I will get them tomorrow."
'What am I going to do for Bunny Ears for a horse, not even Wal-Mart has bunny ears big enought for a horse. Dang, I guess I will have to be creative.'

Baby B is 4 years old
It is truly amazing the time has flown by. The trials and tribulations, the happy and sad moments we have shared together. The friendships we have formed all simply amazing.
Now here is the first baby, at four years old and getting ready for training. She is a beautiful horse, with a good mind who has known nothing but love and care. Never has she gone a day feeling hungry, without water or the gentle touch of a human hand.
Call us silly for marking this milestone for this special horse...it's okay. She has made a difference in so many lives....and she is one of the lucky ones, due to the caring people who helped her mom.
Happy Birthday Baby B!
Stephanie
