Quick Jaunt in the Snow

As what I have come to hear is quite normal around this area, especially in the high desert, it has snowed this week quite a few times. It’s kind of weird to drive by the elementary school and see “Spring Break” on the billboard with everything blanketed with snow. I am so thankful for the snow tires that are still on my car.



This is Cappie. You can’t tell in this picture, but he was once mistaken for a pig by a little boy. He is what is known as an ‘easy keeper’ – it seems that whatever he eats goes straight to the girth of his gut.



Svara has quickly become one of my favorites. She has the sweetest personality, even though her trot has been compared to riding a pogo-stick.




This is one of our new little guys and has found a place in my heart very swiftly. He is quiet, inquisitive and very low to the ground. He has a little training in front of him before he will be put into the program, but I can see him becoming the first choice for many small children. His name took a little time to decide on, but we have finally dubbed him Buckshot.




Solstice got her name because she has seen the last of her darkest days. She was rescued and brought to the ranch in the middle of January. She has since gained a couple inches and over 100 pounds. Her withdrawn personality has quickly changed into a little spitfire. If you can believe it, she is a 2 year old Quarter Horse. She could easily be mistaken for a very sick 6 month old. But under some TLC, that is quickly being changed.
