Early Retirement

No, not for me; it’s too late for that. But Apache has retired from his horse training adventures a bit earlier than expected.

Good. More napping for me.

We will still work together and hang out. I’m very glad to have my equine companions to enjoy every day. I’m prepared to care for them as best as I can for as long as I can. They have good food, supplements, regular hoof trimmings, and yearly checkups. It’s a good life for horses and donkeys and they provide me with a reason to get up every morning. Good deal.

And food. Plenty of it!

Onward and upward. In today’s climate, you never know what changes are coming. But I’m never giving up on hope for a safe and peaceful future for us all.

Apache is always up for a post-meal yawning fest
Mabel is prettier every day and her feet look so good
Fiona grazes enthusiastically on leftovers
Dusty takes his time
He makes his own gravy!
Feeding time fun

Send comforting thoughts and I’ll send some back.

  1. Horses don’t care if they are ridden, or trained. They want safety, companionship, good food…. You are doing right by your wonderful herd. Positive energy being sent your way.

    As for the state of the world, I have faith the pendulum will swing center. “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
