Alice & Cocoa

Our BLM Jenny  b. 01/98?

Alice is our adopted burro from the Wild Horse & Burro Program. Although she was born wild she is reserved and gentle. A great babysitter for the little ones. Pictured with Cocoa Puff. Notice the size difference between Miniature and Standard Donkeys

Frito & Alice

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.

Meet Jack our new rescued donkey at Shadow Ridge  click here to read about him.   Below is a recent picture. Quite a difference.

Jack this April 2007. Feet are a little better. He will always be ouchy.

V Fox Farm's Valentino

Gelding   b. 05/31/04

We call him 'Little Guy".

He is an 'in your pocket' loyal fella. Possible sale to a good home only. He was separated from his family very young so he is very close to me or those who will love him. Comes when called, follows you around like a dog. Such a sweetie.

Betsy

Betsy is a rescued BLM Mustang that we are offering a foster home for  the United States Equine League. http://www.userl.org/ until she is able to be adopted. Update! We adopted Betsy......

Betsy needs a lot of love and patience for her to learn to trust again.

The league is always in  need of foster homes. Please consider helping where you can.
