This is a family farm that has been in operation for 57 years. Our goal is to have a number of horses that can be ridden by children who do not have their own, and to provide a home for horses who must be placed or will not have adequate grazing. We have more than enough pasture, as we have sold off the majority of our cattle. I do have a shoer, but I mostly have my horses trimmed,unless they need more. We have automatic waterers, so we do not have a problem with that

Unwanted Horse Coalition

Once again, I am re=posting this information:

Unfortunately another part of our society that is suffering from the economic downturn are Horses. Many people are unable to continue to care for their family pets. At the American Horse Council website they have a list of Organizations accepting these Unwanted horses.

Stay posted for the information of rescue organizations around the country

The State of our Economy

I have a huge problem regarding the lay offs of 100's of teachers in the Tucson Unified School District. I'm not sure if this is just the right decision to make for the children. I just wonder how many of these students are already dealing with a parent who has lost their job? Or maybe their family has lost their home? How about the summer programs for the underprivileged children? Will these programs also affected? How can we continue to miss the point with our society?

Two weeks ago I was watching T.V. with my girls.... they were watching the top 20 earning entertainers. These numbers were astonishing! Gwen Steffani earned 28 million dollars in 2008. I watched this show in disbelief and then walked around quoting these figures to people for the next 2 weeks....

I won't even get started about the big bailouts resting on the shoulders of the working class. I don't understand how unconnected with the real world these bailouts are.

Ok... so my point is: I just feel like we are living upside down. Our kids deserve the bailout package.. they will benefit the most.

Wounded Warrior Project

Last Night on the American Country Music Awards there was a tribute to our Wounded and Fallen Soldiers... just wanted to get the link out www.wouldedwarriorproject.org out into the world.
