Stopping in to say hello...

[watermarkfarm]

I never come to this board anymore and could hardly remember how to log in!! After a few tries, I did it. Hello to everyone, I hope you are well. I thought I'd update on a few of the horses who came to me via CBER and RO.

Reggie/Ridge: Nice former dressage horse rescued at auction Oregon by two RO members and needed bladder surgery. He just turned 25 and is the love of my life. It's been a rough road at times, with a pelvic fracture and a bowed tendon along the way. He's retired now, but I showed him for a year in dressage and we had a ton of fun. He also did Pony Club with my daughters.

CBER Pay Day: He's living in Chico, CA with his mom of 4 years. He's now 25. She adores him and takes such great care of him. Pay Day was one of those treasures that came out of a feedlot, a well trained, sound, lovely school horse who was simply unlucky --- how could anyone toss such a gem?. He does dressage and trail rides and is the epitome of bombproof. I get regular updates on him and have gone to see and ride him.

CBER Cayenne: He was adopted by NanciK and lives the ultimate life of retirement on a fancy private ranch in Napa County. He is 22 now, healthy sound and fabulous. He did dressage work for a while. Now he's living at this gorgeous facility where he shares a pasture with all these stunning retired Grand Prix jumpers. Caleb is living the good life. Nanci sees him weekly and adores him.

CBER Rejuvenate aka "Angel" is the emaciated, crippled old mare who was on the feedlot with her foal. Beth Kennalley initially took her, then I adopted her from Beth. She has been with me for, oh, four years now? I love my Angel girl. She is doing great, who would have known? She has to be at least 25 by now. I adore her and try to give her the most cush life possible. She is so beautiful.

Hugs to all. Hope you and your horses are happy & well. My email is [e-mail] if you'd like to reach me. I'm currently serving on the board of directors of a local non profit that works with Animal Control horse cases, the Sonoma CHANGE Program. Great program run by an equine vet. www.sonomachangeprogram.com

Hi Katie, Yep, it's pretty quiet around here. Caly and I need to pass by you sometime soon to go up and see Rosy and Champ at Helen's. We'll give you a call- see if you're free. Helen says Rosy prefers to crib rather than eat, so she got her a new crib-strap!
For old CBER folks......Champ is the chestnut, then-19 YO possibly SB stallion from a few years ago- I sponsor him on a lovely irrigated pasture in Nor. Cal.

Oh, my goodness. I'm soooooo glad I checked in here. I don't come here frequently anymore.

THANK YOU so much for giving updates on these horses. Guess, what. I remember all but one! So happy to hear the good fortune for all of them. Too many horses don't have such wonderful 2nd chances.

I followed all of their stories as far as they were reported. I especially followed Ridge's story. What a guy. And, of course, that led to Argus who is a miracle story.

Thanks, Katie.

Katie! Fun to see you on the board, even if you are just "stopping by". You know we all love updates on the horses, thank you!

Glad to see Angel is doing ok, we still have Phoenix! He is tall dark and HANDSOME!
if anyone is looking for a prospect.. he' s your man!
He is next up on the list for the trainer, so when we find a home for Rosie, off he goes!
(for that matter, any one interested in a great 5 year old 14.1 hand QH mare... she is super sweet, and a great all around horse!)
