Jet and Archer

jet and archerIt’s been 2 years since we adopted Jet and Archer. Wanted to let you know the boys are very spoiled and well loved. Thanks for having the confidence in me to take on the responsibility of these two. The more I am around them, the more I realize they are teaching me a great deal. As you can see they love their carrots!!!!!! –Marca

Tuskaloosa Checking In

We fostered Tuskaloosa (“Loosa” to us) when he was just three. He was part of the Mille Lacs County humane case and one of the few to be turned over before the whole herd was finally saved. Loosa was thin and injured, but mostly Loosa was afraid. He was afraid of people, afraid of the herd, of swinging gates, the open door, the closed stall – he had no sense of safety anywhere. We nurtured Loosa through his fears, slowly discovering the sweet and gentle soul that he is. We could not resist our desire to adopt and keep him in our lives forever.

We now live in California on a 60 acre ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Loosa, the crazily spotted pony, is in his element! He loves to roam over the open acreage, but he’s equally eager to give little kids their first pony rides or carry my husband or a visitor down the trail. He has also added “modeling” to his resume, having appeared in a Skodes Horse Treat advertisement. We wanted you to know that all is well; he is happy and we feel so very lucky to be sharing life with him.
