Ok...I do not have much information at the moment to share...but I am too excited to not share the little bit that I have.....

Some of you know that I work with disturbed horses, as a 'whisperer' of sorts. I have one that has graduated from my care and is leaving today (JR). I was supposed to be getting 2 Tennessee Walkers in his place. Cool, as I have always wanted to work with them since I was a little girl.

I got a voice message this morning telling me that JR is going home today and instead of getting the 2 walkers, I am getting a mare who is due to have a baby any day. The owner wants the baby to grow up to be the calmest, gentlest horse on the face of the earth.... This means I get to love and touch and play with and teach a little one from the moment of birth till about the age of 2! Very Happy

The hard part is going to be the handing it back over to the owner. Sad Confused

So...when I get home tonight, I will post what breed she is and what breed the daddy is. And then pics the moment that things happen!!!!!

Exactly like that. I have studied his books and worked with others that do the same thing. It is very rewarding. Wink
