These guys are my project horses at Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary.

They are still a part of a court case,
so we can't really name them and get
attached, but we can groom them up real nice
and teach them how to be respectful.

These are the first pictures I took of these guys
a month or so ago.
They have come a long way since these photos.

This is "Brando."
He is such a ham.
We have sort of become attached
to him, but he is so darn sweet.

I ride on Friday's at my
teacher's place and
when I got there yesterday,
Izzy showed me this...

It was so cool. If we lifted up the
skin, we could see the bone.

My teacher called Dr. Braat, and he is so awesome that
he was able to be there in 3 1/2 minutes.

This is a horse on drugs.
Notice the droopy eyes, the leaning legs,
and the disheveled hair.

A little numbing meds...

What a nice suture...

Hopefully this colt will respect fences now...

This is Playmate.
She has her tongue hangin'
out the entire time I am riding her.
She's classy.

...various pictures from the last month's happenings...

Well, hello!

Baby (finally)

Hey, what are you doing over there Izzy?
Oh, just milking a horse.

Hey GOAT! What are you doing over there?
Oh, just doin' some yoga.

This was the first time
since starting at the Humane Society
that I got really upset that
I couldn't take a dog home

This is Luke.
He is mean.

I do love all birds,
but seagulls are crazy!
