Remmie - always hungry
Thanks to Lisa D. I have gathered more pics from Midwest Horse Fair and the 4-H horse show held last weekend. I just have to snicker when I think of Remmie. Here is this old Amish horse who came to us hungry and tired, and was never in a trailer until he made the journey to our farm. Fast forward to 4-H meetings, riding for fun, and Remmie getting better every day and feeling better. We didn't take him to any horse fairs, but we did, last weekend, take him to his first horse show. We loaded Sheba, Chief and Janny first, wondering if Remmie would load willingly. Could we ask for anything better? He walked right in!!!! Once at the horse show, all horses were well behaved for their 4-h riders and handlers. Sheba got a bit excited when she was separated for one halter class, which cost her being one of the finalists...........but other than that the Standardbreds and Chief were 3 of the ten finalists in halter!!!! Isn't that neat? The STB's also endured the costume contest, and Rachel and Janimal placed first with their princess and the frog outfit from last year's Midwest Horse Fair! Remmie and Lexi placed second with their American Idol garb. Now, if Remmie could write home to his Amish family of many years ans send a picture of himself wearing a cowboy hat and microphone........what would the letter really say??? LOL - Remmie we love you. And all of the other horses who serve the children who come to the farm for every and any reason.
We are in great need of hay. We have almost exhausted our large round bale supply which isn't even paid for yet, and don't have any small squares at all. We are off to Cuba City this Saturday to pick up a load of 200 bales - if you have any you want to donate or sell along the way, please call me at home at 608-689-2296 so we can arrange to stop near you.
No horse events this weekend - looks like we are in for some rain. Sharon is getting better each day and Precious is much improved. Pearl looks like something out of a magazine - sleek and fat and gorgeous......waiting for a home! Please come and see us.
Hugs,
Susan
