April 6, 2014 marked Socrates first year with Bonnie Blue here at the farm. They celebrated the occasion with apples and carrots. Sox was well dressed for the event wearing a shiny black coat with a slight hint of dapples. Dapples are new for Sox. ( Bonnie Blue sports them most of the time.) These are not bold markings on either horse and can only be seen with a clean coat and good lighting, but they are there this spring.

Dr. Lowell Rogers visited both horses a few days ago to immunize, worm and test for Coggins.  They were found to be in good health and near ideal weight.  Sox teeth were fine but Bonnie’s need a little floating work. Dr. Rogers will revisit later this spring to take care of that.

We have experienced some heavy spring weather here in late April, but there have been some really nice days also. We have taken some pictures to show off these horses that were discarded and abandoned. We think they are wonderful and deserve a chance at life. They have certainly enriched our lives.

A friend sent us a catalog that contained a T-shirt that had a picture of a horse in a barn stall. The shirt reads “My Therapist Lives in a Barn”.  This is very apropos, as my spirit is lifted every time I am in their presence.

Blessing to All.
