Chevie and the 4th













I want to post some pictures of Chevie Silverado and his injury. I have taken some over the past five days. The vet was out again yesterday to inspect. Thankfully, Craig doesn't have to give penicillin any more - that was a lot of penicillin over four days time. No more bute, either, and Chevie is feeling great about that. He has a view two ways from his stall so he stays in tune with what's going on with his herd mates.

We want to sincerely thank Mary D. of Iowa and Eunice D. of Minnesota for their donations to help us pay for hay and feed and unexpected vet bills recently. Also Lori W. This is a big help and without you we would not make it right now. Also Evelyn C. sent a gift. Her husband recently passed away - they had donated a horse by the name of Inside Straight years ago.

As things happen on the farm, the children who come home to celebrate the holidays with us also get involved. I will post some pictures of our 4th of July around the campfire here at our farm. Thank God for our wonderful children.

Jordan helped me two nights ago and I was able to get on Timesareachanging!!! He was a real trooper as I rode him around the yard bareback. He hardly flinched. We will be riding a lot more soon!

Again, if you are able to give, please consider it. Right now the harness racing industry is not supporting us financially in any way - we are praying for their quarterly contribution to come soon.
