Freedom for Mr. Bean




Living in a fan cooled stall is so boring for a horse. Mr. Bean gets some freedom to run around the arenas while I feed the rest of the horses. His mama Luna follows close by being a good parent. Mr. Bean might be the first fox trotter trained as a cutting horse. We will wait and see when he turns two.

Little Bean is One Week Old




Here is our newborn fox trotter foal, Mr. Bean. He gets to run around the barrel racing arena in the evenings to stretch his legs. It has been too hot outside during the day so he is stabled with Luna at night. He is growing fast right before our eyes. Soon he will join Maple in our pasture. Maple is his half sister and she is 2 months older.

Walking Stick



On my deck was this large 8 inch walking stick. It played dead when I got too close then scurried away. It was a very heavy and dense bug, lot of bug meat there.
