Munchkin – a Proud Horse Owner

Posted in Family

Last week, an unexpected sequence of events lead to Munchkin becoming owner of Dixie. She isn’t living at our rental house as it’s not a horse property, but when the time is right, she will be coming home to live with us. Needless to say, Munchkin was thrilled when she was given this opportunity. On Friday, Munchkin decided to work on her bareback riding skills, and because she wanted to work on her leg cues, she decided that she would also go without a halter and reins. It was fun watching them working together to figure out how to work…

Overhauling the WRR Rhino

Posted in Family

A couple of weeks ago, D, Munchkin, and I decided that it was time to give the WRR Horse Rescue Rhino an overhaul. It had seen better days due to accidents, and we were charged with keeping it at our place for a time period while the owner of the ranch decided what to do with it.

The Terrestrial Veil is ripping, and demons walk the streets past unseeing mortals. Dark, sticky fear drips from every face, and nightmares haunt Brielle’s sleep. Worst of all, Jake is gone.
