Here is Marika’s new colt at just four days old. He is by Dragonfire Kirin. We have not named him yet and would appreciate suggestions. It is a “J” year and here are the other names:
JS Bach, Jesse James, Josie, Jolie, and Jet Lee!
   It has been a little over a year since Gaysha’s fall and as you can see she is back to her old self! She and Caduceus Marika share a pasture and have become best friends and in this photo Gaysha is racing to rejoin Marika without any concern for her old injury.Â
Well, actually it took several days. We moved five horses to the new barn on Friday June 1. These five got to settle in over the weekend. Jackie and I rode in the arena for the first time on Saturday, and had our first lesson with Carol Friend at the ranch on Monday. The mares and foals and two yearlings came the following Tuesday.  Here is our move in pictures:
Jazz and Rocket came first.
Then Hero, Marika and Gaysha
A surprise arrived from Pogie! A beautiful wreath!
Jazz and Rocket’s first time in their pastures.
Gaysha and Marika like two old friends.
Hero has to charge around and make a lot of noise.
Here we are in the arena for the first time.
Carol Friend and our first Lesson at “Ranchitas”
The mares and foals arrive on Tuesday. (I had to leave before Emotion and Jesse went out.)
And last but not least the yearlings.
A few parting shots!
And finally this is what I see from my front patio, it is what I have been waiting for, the view that makes all the work worth while!
