Rescues Elliot and Shadow plotting an entry into the house

Shadow and Elliot thinking about coming in the kitchen. Shadow is a hackney pony mare. Elliot is a Miniature Horse gelding. We rescued both while we lived up north and brought with us. Shadow has Cushings' and all the terrible ailments that go with it. If you have a cushinoid equine, email me and I will tell you how we have made her life much more comfortable. Both are terribly spoiled. But isn't that what it's all about?

Shadow and Betsy both Rescued.

My Favorite and First Baby

I lost my little buddy in 2006 in child birth.

Chris with baby Cocoa Puff

Cocoa was our very first baby born on Shadow Ridge. Imprinted at birth, easy to handle and a love.  Miniature Donkey Cocoa Puff as a babyShadow Ridge Cocoa Puff


In Memory of Shadow Ridge Cocoa Puff  We lost our beloved Cocoa on July 31st, 2006 during foaling. She is sadly missed by me and Chris and all the donkeys. They were all gathered together around her grave the other day and we can only guess what they were feeling.

See you on the other side my sweetheart. I was with you when you were born and held you in your last hours and you died in my arms.

You trusted me with your life and I pray you understand I had to make the decision I did.  God how I miss you.
