Update on So Cal CBER horses

[Tockita]

Everyone is doing great and the last CBER horse at Angis' has a home!

I delivered Felicity to her new lease home a few days ago. Yes Felicity, the beautiful roan filly with burrs in her mane sent to the feedlot by a bucking stock man.. long long ago! I think she came in with the pregnant roan mares, went to foster, back to Sam and then down to Angi.. 18 months ago?

Angi was waiting for the perfect match for her to come along and she did! She is related to the gal that adopted Diamond.

Diamond is doing GREAT! Her mom Susie and she are the best of friends.

Muffin is leased out to the same 4H leader that is leasing my auction filly,

Calypso (Starlit) is living with the same lady that adopted China, Spirit and Blair.

Blossom is with Mary and Jesse who also adopted Cordie and Faith (Faye)

The lady that leased Lil Rascal was taking him on walks in her neighborhood and her neighbors are leasing Dino and Galaxy (an orphan Angi raised)

We had brought Kasey down to go to a 16 y/o girl and Valley for a husband but they ended up swapped. Valley is making a teenager very happy, and the husband brought Kasey to a clinic recently and ADORES her!

It's funny that some ended up in the same place or to relatives and neighbors but I guess they realized what so many of us know.. That these horses have a special capacity for love.

Tiffany/Farnley is still with us, as is Dyna (only I have to figure out how to wean her away from Sevasti who would keep her forever if I let her!)

Its been expensive and time consuming to bring these horses all the way down to So Cal, and care for them.. but I have to say that seeing these horses in their new homes is worth every bit of it.

If I forgot anyone please speak up. I've been watching Robots all weekend. "Our" team (702 The Bagel Bytes) were finalists at the L.A. regional this year so it was a very happy exciting event for us.

My son has been mentoring the team for 6 years. He likes to work were he can take time off to help the team during the build season and has even dropped college classes in the past when they interfered!

Tockita- we need a flow chart for all the horses! and of course, pictures...

I loved Blair. Do you know anything about her these days? And China too...

I was at Lauries last tuesday dropping off hay, but I didn't take any pics. China is getting chunky, and Spirit is TALL. Blair is about the same. I have pics from last fall, but can take some next time I go over.

Muffin and Kasey I saw at Angis' clinic in Feb (along with my filly Cadence) ;D Again didnt take pics.. in fact I was suppossed to leave and go to Jeremy Dunns clinic but didn't because I ended up going to fetch a friend of Beths that day because her grandma was in the hospital)

I stopped last week to peek at Cordie, Blossom, and Faith. They live around the corner from where Dyna is hanging out. (Beth was out of school so we were free to run around most of the week) Jesse was at work and Mary was out of town so I didn't get nose to nose with them, but like my yard theirs is fully visible from the street.

I can call Kathy and go see Rascal and Dino, we have a Mustang playday on saturday but can probably go by on sunday. Felicity is down the same road as a lady I know on our High Desert horse group, but I just dropped her off on Wed night. I took some pics of her the weekend Angi got her new makeover horse.

I guess I should explain to those that don't know Angi rarely sells horses. Sometimes for clients yes she will show and advertise horses... but the rescues go out on a lease contract. We did the same for Cadence my auction filly and Faith my CBER pony.

The babies she likes to play with horses their own age so she tends to loan them out to folks with babies the same age so they get a chance to run and play together. My Dyna is staying at a friends because she had a mustang gelding just a little older her and they get along great. She is mean to the younger babies (tried to kick one of the boys in the head 30 seconds after we put them together!) so she couldn't stay with them.

Swissy has Trevor/Mac Muffin and she can keep him as long as she wants or return him ;D

Thank you for the update

So glad to hear all the kids are doing so well. Also very glad to hear Galaxy has some prospects. When I met her, I wanted her!!!! So sweet. Has her hernia been removed or did it just go away?

Great update! Thanks for letting us know how they are doing!

[Tockita]

It was not growing, but still needed to be fixed. I'll have to ask Angi if her adopters got it done over the winter.
Dr C wanted to do it out of fly season. Since the houses are close together here, you can use multiple fly control methods and still be in trouble if one neighbor isn't trying to manage them at all. ;(
