Back in the Big Field!

    Magic and I are back in the large gelding field!      Spring grass is gone, so we get a vacation from the mares.    It was like a homecoming – seeing Finn, Echo Star and the others.   While we talk across the fence, it’s not the same as being together and able to touch noses and groom each other. Casper came right away to Magic – maybe he was just happy to see another grey horse!   I let him and…

Sara and Jewel Must Go

As you know, I am not fond of most mares.   Sara has driven me to distraction since Hoover and I arrived at the Sanctuary.  Beautiful, but an obnoxious little princess.    Now a new mare, Jewel, is just as bad.  Aside from being so possessive of Kizzy, she chases the lovely Bo.   Bo has some problems with her feet, like Magic and Hoover.   She also is friendly to all the other horses – even the sometimes testy little Sassy seems to…

What’s Wrong With These Pictures?

What’s Wrong With These Pictures? These pictures are  wrong!    I know we look awesome.   Magic and I are behaving like gentlemen in the cross ties.    Our halters suit us.    But I’ll tell you what’s wrong here – IT IS DINNER TIME!    We were waiting at the gate to come in for dinner.   We are always first – the rest of our herd knows who is in charge here.   But instead of leading me to my stall where my hay was waiting,…

Ah, Magic!

Magic and I have become best of friends these last months.    Our stalls are next to each other—he has Hoover’s old stall with the great turnout.  We graze together; we roll in the mud together; when the fields are too wet, we hang out in the arena together; and we go to the cross ties together to have our feet cleaned.   While he teases me a bit about my crush on Bo, he understands my love of grey horses with…

Happy Anniversary to Sara

It was a treat to be at Equamore last week for this very special event: the one-year anniversary of Sara and her “person,” Equamore board vice-president Ruth Kennedy. Being a “person” to Sara means walking, grooming, and visiting her — as well as proffering treats (Sara and Ruth share an apple at the end of nearly every day). After Sara was rescued from severe neglect by Equamore back in 2008, she was placed twice in adopted homes and twice returned. In February of 2010, the sanctuary became her…
