Louie has FINALLY found his new home. It gives me chills, to think about this, and how long it took us to find Louie his match. Because Louie was gelded at 5 years old we felt perhaps he would always act "studdy" and need a "special" home.

But Louie became the nicest horse, and after a long hot summer "off" we restarted him in October. Lisa came to see him shortly thereafter and was not sure he was for her. Then again in December, Lisa was here for a clinic and she spent some time with him, and still liked him, even though he was green under saddle.

Other people came and looked at him...but Lisa was always in the background, waiting. Lisa came back in early May and Louie was no longer green. Somehow, he matured and became a seasoned horse "overnight". Or did Louie know, somehow, that Lisa was going to be his true partner ? It is a joy to know that Louie will have a forever "natural" home with people like Lisa, Domenick, and Anna LaNeve ! (they also adopted one of my kittens last year).

Frank is a registered 3 year old thoroughbred gelding (with papers). Purchased (rescued) on April 15 from a neglectful home. Current on all shots, worming, and farrier work, he is ready to go home with someone. He loves being bathed (photo taken after his bath), but is sometimes difficult to catch. We recommend keeping him alone or with a dependable older horse, until he settles into his new home and trusts that he will not be abused. Parelli person preferred!

Pam and Tom Marshall adopted Frank and since he is in Wellborn, we get to hear all about his exploits. No longer difficult to catch or to hoof-trim, Frank is finally enjoying his new life with people who respect him and care for him.
